Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India. It is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players each.
The objective of the game is for a single player on offense, referred to as a raider, to run into the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath.
Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be revived when their team scores points.
Kabaddi requires both physical strength and quick reflexes. It is particularly popular in rural India and has gained international recognition through competitions like the Kabaddi World Cup and Pro Kabaddi League. |
