Hockey India League full squads: After HIL auction day 2, cut-price deals for overseas superstars, some handy deals for Indian youngsters


After the Harmanpreet Singh-led squad of Paris Olympics bronze medallists dominated proceedings on day 1, the theme on day 2 of the Hockey India League auction for the men’s teams was franchises looking for value overseas additions, and young Indians with a high ceiling.

As expected, no one got close to the Rs 70 lakh mark that three Indians breached on Day 1 (Harmanpreet, Abhishek and Hardik Singh) but there were still quite a few noteworthy recruits as the eight men’s franchises for HIL 2024-’25 completed their squads.

Purely in terms of value, Moriangthem Rabichandra (Rs 32 lakh to Kalinga Lancers) was the only Indian in the top 10 for the day. But three other Indians managed to get in an impressive Rs 26 lakh bid with Maninder Singh going to Soorma Hockey Club, Angad Bir Singh going to Kalinga Lancers and Mohd. Raheel Mouseen moving to Tamil Nadu Dragons.

With a hefty purse at the start of the day, Kalinga Landers made some shrewd overseas purchases, picking up Olympic gold medal winning captain of Netherlands Thierry Brinkman for a steal at Rs 38 lakh and also Belgium legend Arthur Van Doren for Rs 32 lakh. And then they added the brilliant Belgian drag flicker Alexander Hendrickx for just Rs 23 lakh, as the shrinking purses of various franchises saw overseas superstars go for evidently lower than one would expect.

However, Belgium’s Victor Wegnez was the most expensive recruit on day 2, fetching Rs 40 lakh from Soorma Hockey Club.

Festive offer

Young players with a base price of 2 lakh also made merry at the auction, Rajinder to Hyderabad Toofans for 23 lakh, the same price that India forward Uttam Singh got for his move to Tamil Nadu dragons.

Interestingly, no overseas player across the 8 teams was from an Asian nation.

Overall, Harmanpreet Singh was, as expected, the most expensive buy at the men’s HIL Player Auction at Rs 78 lakh. Abhishek became the second-most expensive buy, acquired by Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers for Rs 72 lakh, while India vice-captain Hardik Singh went to UP Rudras for 70 lakh.

Among the overseas players, former Argentina star and Germany’s current World Cup winning squad member Gonzalo Peillat was the most sought after, finishing with a bid of Rs 68 lakh from Hyderabad Toofans.

It would be worth keeping an eye on Tamil Nadu Dragons as an attacking force too, as they first brought in Netherlands’ Jip Janssen for Rs 54 lakh on the first day, then added the firepower of Aussie star Blake Govers for a cut-price value of Rs 27 lakh.

At the end of the men’s auctions, here’s how all the 8 squads have shaped up:
