Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India and is now played internationally. The game involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team, known as the raider, enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly without taking a breath. The defenders try to stop the raider from returning to their half by tackling or holding them. Points are scored when the raider successfully tags defenders and returns to their half, or when defenders prevent the raider from returning. Kabaddi requires strength, speed, and strategic thinking, making it a popular sport in rural and urban areas of India. It is also the national sport of Bangladesh and is played in countries like Iran, South Korea, and Japan. The Pro Kabaddi League in India has further popularized the game, attracting international players and fans. |
