It was raining rupees at the Indian Super League (ISL) player draft in Mumbai yesterday as prolific defender Anas Edathodika and midfielder Eugeneson Lyngdoh emerged as the costliest buys going for a whopping Rs 1.1 crore. While Edathodika, who played his previous two seasons with Delhi Dynamos, was picked by ISL new entrants Jamshedpur FC, Lyngdoh, who earlier plied his trade with I-League champions and the ISL's other latest member Bengaluru FC, will now don the red and white stripes for two-time champions Atletico de Kolkata.
