Mumbai: India skipper Sunil Chhetri was expectedly the most expensive buy in the inaugural players auction of the Indian Super League but it was his Bengaluru FC team mate Eugeneson Lyngdoh who invoked intense bidding and maximum interest from the clubs.
Chhetri carrying a base price of Rs 80 lakh was snapped up by Mumbai City FC for Rs1.20 crore. Lyngdoh went to FC Pune City for a whopping Rs1.05 crore after bidding interest from as many as five clubs. He had a base price of Rs 27.50 lakh.
