A massive bidding war for Sander De Wijn

Tamil Nadu Dragons and Delhi SG Pipers start the bidding war for Sander De Wijn. The bid has zoomed past Rs 30 lakh.

Delhi SG Pipers drop out but before Tamil Nadu Dragons drop out, UP Rudras (read Hockey India) come in.

The Rudras stint is brief. Tamil Nadu Dragons stay on top and they rope in Sander De Wijn for Rs 36 lakh – the costliest player in 2026 HIL auction until now!
