Sarada Singh, the captain of Indian men hockey team and one of the marquee players has been topped in the list of auctioned players held on Sunday for upcoming Hockey India Legue (HIL).
HIL has been initiated to promote domestic hockey and its players in India, on the line of IPL in cricket.
In the HIL players' auction, Sardara Singh has been sold to the Delhi Wave Riders for the highest price of US$78,000.
Other marquee players sold at the auction were Australian Jamie Dwyer to Jaypee Punjab Warriors at $60,000, German Moritz Suertse for $75,500 to Ranchi Rhinos, and world's most capped player Teun de Nooijer of the Netherlands to Lucknow-based Uttar Pradesh Wizards for $66,000.
Unlike cricket's Indian Premier League (IPL), there were no problems with the auction of Pakistani players as the Mumbai franchisee bought Fareed Ahmed for $21,000 and Mohammed Rashid for $41,000.
