Seoni's rising star: Uday Parte reaps reward of six years of hard work with bumper PKL contract
Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], July 8 (ANI): The moment Uday Parte's name echoed through the Pro Kabaddi Season 12 League Player Auction hall on June 1 as the second most expensive player from Category D, the 23-year-old from Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, felt a surge of emotions he could barely contain. 'Nothing was going on in my mind at that time, I was just thinking, taking it all in, that's it,' he recalled with humility about the life-changing moment that would see him don the Jaipur Pink Panthers jersey for the upcoming campaign, as quoted from a press release by PKL. For Uday, the journey to professional kabaddi began in the most traditional way - following in his elder brother's footsteps. 'My elder brother plays Kabaddi, so from there, I went to the ground with my brother,' he explained. What started as brotherly companionship on the ground would eventually evolve into a six-year journey that has now culminated in his first PKL contract. Unlike many professional athletes who begin their sporting careers in childhood, Uday's kabaddi journey started relatively late and said, 'At that time, I was in school at the age of 17.' Despite the late start, his progress was rapid and determined. After playing locally in Seoni, he made his mark at the Junior National level in 2021, which opened doors to academy training and All India tournaments. The auction day brought unexpected fortune when Jaipur Pink Panthers, his favourite team, showed faith in his abilities and added, 'The team trusted me so much, so I have to play well anyway.' Uday reflects on the responsibility that comes with being a high-value pick. His first instinct after the auction was to share the moment with those who mattered most: 'First of all, I called my father, and then I called my coach.' His coach, Mahesh Gaur from Jabalpur, has been instrumental in his development. Gaur, who has played for teams like Bengal Warriorz, Patna Pirates, and UP Yoddhas, provides Uday with the professional guidance needed to transition from domestic tournaments to the PKL stage. The choice of Jaipur Pink Panthers wasn't just about the auction outcome - it was a team he had long admired and revealed, 'Jaipur is my favourite team. I'm grateful for the trust they've shown in me by bringing me into their squad.' Under head coach Narender Redhu, Uday has found the professional environment he needs to flourish. Having met the coach about 20 days after the player auction, he shared the confidence instilled in him: 'The head coach motivates me a lot. He said that he trusts me a lot and that I play the same way, and that's it.' This trust from the coaching staff has translated into self-belief. The presence of senior players like Nitin Rawal and Nitin Kumar Dhankar provides Uday with the learning environment he values, and said, 'All the seniors are good here. They have a lot of experience, and this helps a lot. They help youngsters like me with important knowledge and then tells us what to do.' This mentorship is crucial for a player making his PKL debut, especially one carrying the expectations that come with being an expensive auction pick. The moment when Uday steps onto the mat wearing the Jaipur Pink Panthers jersey will mark not just a personal milestone but a representation of dreams realised through persistence and discipline. 'Just take God's name, and work as hard as I can, and just play well,' he said about his mindset for that crucial debut moment. As he prepares to make his mark in PKL Season 12, the young raider from Seoni carries with him not just the hopes of his hometown, but the dreams of countless aspiring kabaddi players who see in his story the possibility of their own transformation from local grounds to professional glory.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 1 (ANI): Another exciting Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) player Auction for season 12 concluded on Sunday after a weekend of intense bidding action as the 12 franchisees built teams worthy of providing a healthy competition for the upcoming season. 10 crorepatis were the top highlight of day 1, as two-time champion Mohammadreza Shadloui joined the Gujarat Giants for a whopping INR 2.23 Crores, as per a release from PKL12 Auction. With him in the 2 Crore group was Devank Dalal, the Best Raider in PKL 11. He was signed by Bengal Warriorz for INR 2.205 Crores, making him the fifth-most expensive player in the PKL Player Auction after Shadloui's bid on Saturday. The new Final Bid Match (FBM) rule was also seen in action across the two days, allowing teams to buy back their released players by matching the final auction bid price, for either one or two seasons. While five players were retained for two seasons, nine players were retained for one season. Category C was a golden opportunity for the all-rounders, with the likes of Nitin Rawal, Gurdeep and Dheeraj earning high bids. Nitin joined Jaipur Pink Panthers for a fee of INR 50 Lakhs, while Gurdeep was signed by Puneri Paltan for INR 47.10 Lakhs and Dheeraj will don the Bengaluru Bulls jersey after earning an impressive bid of INR 40.20 Lakhs. However, it was raider Akash Shinde who took the top bid in this category, moving to Bengaluru Bulls for INR 53.10 Lakhs. In what was one of the most surprising moves of the Player Auction, an exciting bidding war saw U Mumba secure the services of Aanil Mohan for an impressive INR 78 Lakhs - the highest-ever bid in Category D in PKL history. The all-rounder from Himachal Pradesh won the highest bid across both categories on Day 2, with Uday Parte getting the second-highest bid in Category D. He was signed by Jaipur Pink Panthers INR 50.10 Lakhs. Speaking about the Player Auction, Anupam Goswami, Business Head, Mashal Sports & League Commissioner, Pro Kabaddi League, 'It is very positive that the momentum of the PKL 12 Player Auction Day 1 has been maintained on Day 2. The teams have displayed strong interest in Categories C and D, especially through the Rs78 lakh buy for PKL debutant Aanil Mohan, the highest ever for a Category D player in our League's history. Such fresh players often form the backbone of a team, and investing in their growth is key to building competitive squads for the long term. Of course, the emergence of 10 'Crorepati' players this season reflects a balanced market, where both established names and new talent are being valued appropriately. It sets the tone for another competitive season ahead,' as quoted from a release by PKL12 Auction. Aanil Mohan, who was signed by U Mumba, shared his excitement at the end of the Player Auction, 'It feels very exciting to finally be a part of the PKL and to see my hard work paying off. I am also thankful to U Mumba for their efforts in signing me for the upcoming season and hope to leave a mark.
