Ahead of the 2021 PKL Auction, the Telugu Titans released a majority of their players, aiming to form a more balanced squad. They seemingly achieved that target on Day 2 of PKL Auction 2021 as they added the likes of Surender Singh to the squad while retaining Siddharth Desai via the FBM card.
The Titans got Desai back for ₹1.3 crores, ₹15 lakh less than what they paid for him in the previous season. The savings increased the Telugu Titans’ auction purse, thereby allowing them to bid for other big names. Siddharth Desai told Star Sports after Telugu Titans bought him back:
Siddharth Desai and Pardeep Narwal could have played together for the Telugu Titans in PKL 2021
Pardeep Narwal was expected to receive the most expensive contract on Day 2 of the 2021 PKL Auction. The predictions of many fans and experts came true as UP Yoddha signed him for ₹1.65 crores.
The Telugu Titans were also interested in Pardeep’s services. In fact, they started the bidding with a whopping ₹1.2 crore bid. However, they did not have enough funds to sign the ‘Dubki King’.
