Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition. The game involves two teams of seven players each, where one player, known as the raider, enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi without taking a breath. The origins of kabaddi date back to ancient India, with evidence suggesting it was played over 4,000 years ago. Modern competitive kabaddi matches typically start with a toss to decide which team will raid first, and the game begins immediately after the referee\“s signal. In India, kabaddi is not just a sport but a cultural product, often promoted through local leagues and events to preserve its heritage. |
