We are overwhelmed with the response received for the auction and sincerely thank all the team owners, ambassadors, and academy heads for coming together to make this event such an emphatic success. The Gujarat Panthers’ historic ₹18.5 lakh bid for Sumit Nagal, making him the most expensive Indian player ever, is a testimony to the heights Tennis Premier League has achieved over the four seasons and the tremendous potential it holds. The auction sets a precedent for a remarkable fifth season and we are eager to see the action unfold soon.”
