The PKL Season: In one of the most exciting moves during the PKL 12 auction, legendary raider Naveen Kumar has signed with defending champions Haryana Steelers for Rs 1.20 crore, marking his return to his home state and setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying season.

The PKL Season 8 champion, who amassed 1102 raid points for Dabang Delhi K.C. during his stellar six-season tenure, entered the PKL Player Auction for the very first time since making his debut. He expressed his joy at wearing the Steelers jersey. "I always thought I should play for Haryana Steelers, and finally I have become part of this team," Kumar said.

"The entire team and management have placed their trust in me, and I want to justify that faith. This is a champion team, and I want to become a champion again," he added.
