Star all-rounder Manjeet Chillar and defender Surjeet Singh emerged the costliest players to be sold for a whopping Rs 75.5 lakh and Rs 73 lakh respectively in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) auction here yesterday.

Chillar was bought by Jaipur Pink Panther, while Bengal Warriors bagged the services of the Surjeet and also bought all-rounder Ran Singh for Rs 47.5 lakh for the upcoming fifth season of the tournament.
