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 game is played on a rectangular court divided into two halves. Each team has seven players on the court at a time, with additional substitute players available on the bench.
Kabaddi requires no equipment and is played primarily in rural areas of India. The sport has gained international recognition and is now played in many countries worldwide.
The basic rules involve one player from the attacking team （called the raider） entering the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly in one breath.
Kabaddi has been part of the Asian Games since 1990 and has professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India, which has significantly increased the sport\“s popularity. |
