In New Delhi, the Women’s Hockey India League (HIL) Mini Auctions unfolded with all the intensity of a contest on the turf itself. Over 100 women’s players went under the hammer as franchises, restricted by an INR 2 crore cap, plotted their way through a series of tactical bids.
The Tigers’ standout signing of the day, Agustina Gorzelany, commanded a staggering INR 42 lakh from the franchise, following a fierce contest involving multiple sides. The Argentina defender was the highest-paid player of the auction.
