The players' auction for the men's edition of the upcoming <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/over-350-players-in-first-ever-womens-hil-auction-23411104" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Hockey India League</a> (HIL) concluded in Delhi on Monday, marking the league's much-anticipated return this December after a seven-year hiatus. 
All eight teams successfully filled their rosters using their allotted INR 4 crore budget.
Leading the bidding was Indian captain and star defender-dragflicker Harmanpreet Singh, who garnered the highest bid of INR 78 lakh from Soorma Hockey Club.&nbsp;
Among international players, Germany's Argentine dragflicker Gonzalo Peillat emerged as the priciest overseas acquisition, fetching&nbsp; INR 68 lakh from Hyderabad Toofans. Peillat's reputation as a top-tier dragflicker has made him an integral addition to the Toofans' lineup, further enhancing the competitive spirit of the league.
The auction, held over two days, saw teams strategically investing in players to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season. Each franchise approached the bidding with a clear vision of their team dynamics, aiming to balance seasoned players with emerging talents.&nbsp;
