Haryana Steelers walked away with all the attention at the Pro Kabaddi League 2018 (PKL 2018) auction as they bought raider Monu Goyat for whopping INR 1.51 crore.

Apart from Monu, the Haryana-based franchise will have the services of Surender Nada, Vikash Khandola, Sachin Shingade and Kuldeep Singh.
