Kabaddi is a popular contact sport that originated in ancient India and is now played internationally. A standard kabaddi team consists of 7 players on the court at a time, with 3-5 substitute players on the bench. Here are the typical player positions and roles in a kabaddi team:
Raiders: These are the offensive players who enter the opponent\“s half to tag defenders and return to their half while chanting “kabaddi“. Main raiders are often the star players of the team.
Defenders: These players work together to stop the raider from returning to their half. Key defensive positions include corner defenders, cover defenders, and the important position of the stopper who coordinates the defense.
All-rounders: Versatile players who can perform both raiding and defending duties effectively. They provide balance to the team and can adapt to different game situations.
Some famous Indian kabaddi players include Pardeep Narwal, Rahul Chaudhari, Manjeet Chhillar, and Ajay Thakur, who have become household names through tournaments like the Pro Kabaddi League. |
