Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained immense popularity worldwide. It is a contact team sport that originated in ancient India and is now played in many countries.
The sport involves two teams of seven players each. The objective 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, all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider.
Kabaddi requires both physical prowess and mental strength. Players need to have strength, speed, and strategic thinking to succeed. The sport is known for its fast-paced action and requires excellent breath control, as raiders must hold their breath while chanting kabaddi during their raid.
In recent years, kabaddi has seen a resurgence in popularity through professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India. This has helped bring the sport to a wider audience and has produced many talented players who have become national heroes. |
