The UP Yoddha bought Narwal on Monday (August 30), the second day of the PKL auction for the upcoming season 8, which will take place in December. “Pardeep continues to re-write history books, with his price tag now quashing that of another star raider Monu Goyat, who was bought by the Haryana Steelers for Rs 1.51 crore in Season 6,” stated a media release issued by the PKL late on Monday night.
