I am extremely excited but understand my responsibility. I was expecting bids to come close to Rs 1 crore but could not believe it, when it passed 1 crore and kept going. Just like everyone else, I also have to manage and run my home. My sister and her children live with me so I will be taking care of them with the money.

I am extremely happy to be the highest paid player this season, there is a huge responsibility to deliver and I am glad to receive this opportunity. I will now focus on increasing the standard of my game and playing the best I can. This money has given me the opportunity to successfully support my family.

I will spend the money wisely for my family. I will donate some to charity, we have a religious organisation that I usually fund. I would save some to travel around the world when I get free time from tournaments.

I am glad that for the second time I am amongst the highest bid players. But this adds responsibility to perform well. I am happy to be a part of the same team again and understand that the management has put faith in me once more. I want to put my best efforts so my team can win the championship, this season. I intend to utilise the money to fulfil my family's financial requirements. Furthermore, I will invest the money wisely in a bank and make provision for my family's financial security and save some funds as contingency.

Rs 1.11 crore
Team:
UP Yoddha

I would firstly like to fulfill my dream of buying a home in Mumbai. My sister will also be getting married which is of primary importance at the moment. Pro Kabaddi has made a significant difference to my financial stability allowing me to settle down comfortably. I will also be saving the money I earned to put my long-term dream of opening a Kabaddi academy into action.

Fazel Atrachali
Rs 1 crore
Team:
U Mumba, Iranian team captain

Fazel-Atrachali

I am very happy that I am the first player to cross the one crore mark and will be joining my second home. I look forward to an action packed exciting season and hope that I can take my team to the finals. I had a great season last year and was expecting a good bid for the auction. However, crossing the one crore mark was very surprising for me. I would love to buy a new home and a car with this money that I have earned.

"I love cars, bikes and gadgets. I drive an Audi A6 and bought a GT Continental Royal Enfield bike. My father is going to kill me, but the one thing I would like to buy is the Range Rover Sport. It's a lovely car. I also broke the bank to buy an apartment in Bangalore, which wasn't cheap at all. I keep spending more than I should here and there. But my dad is always there to keep an eye on me and see that I don't waste money."

"I know it's over the top, but I would like to wake up in my living room on top of a cruise ship. I want a helicopter pad on it so that if I want to get away from everyone, I could just take my helicopter to my ship, which is also my house. I splurge on watches. I have about seven now. Also, I think I have shoes in triple digits."
