The player was snapped up by Three-time champion Patna Pirates, who acquired him for ₹31 lakhs making him the most expensive overseas buy at PKL Auction 2021. Abozar Mohajermighani became the second-most expensive player from the overseas list after the Bengal Warriors won the player at a bid of ₹30.50 lakhs.
