Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that requires a specific number of players in each team. According to standard kabaddi rules, one team consists of 7 players on the court at any given time during a match. These players are divided into raiders and defenders, with each having distinct roles and responsibilities.
The 7-player team composition includes 4 defenders and 3 raiders, though players can switch between these roles during the game. In addition to the 7 playing members, teams also have 3-5 substitute players who can be brought in during timeouts or for tactical changes. The total squad size for a kabaddi team typically ranges from 10 to 12 players, including both starting players and substitutes.
Kabaddi matches are played on a rectangular court measuring 13 meters by 10 meters for men and 12 meters by 8 meters for women. The game involves raiders from one team entering the opponent\“s half to tag defenders while chanting \“kabaddi\“ continuously. Defenders work together to stop the raider from returning to their half. The team with 7 active players must coordinate their movements and strategies effectively to score points and win the match. |
