Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient times. It is played between two teams, each consisting of seven players. The main objective of the game is for a raider from one team to enter the opponent\“s half, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half without being tackled. The raider must hold their breath and chant \“kabaddi\“ continuously during the raid. If the raider fails to return or is tackled by the defenders, the opposing team scores a point. The game is governed by specific rules to ensure fair play, such as the raider not crossing the boundary lines and defenders not holding the raider for more than a few seconds. Kabaddi has gained international popularity and is now played in various countries, with professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India promoting the sport globally. |
