Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport that originated in ancient India and remains immensely popular across the Indian subcontinent. The game involves two teams of seven players each, where one player （the “raider“） enters the opposing team\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible and return to their own half, all while holding their breath and chanting “kabaddi, kabaddi“.
Jai and Tam are two prominent kabaddi teams that often compete in major tournaments like the Pro Kabaddi League. Their matches are characterized by intense physical confrontations, strategic gameplay, and passionate fan support. Jai typically represents a more aggressive raiding style, while Tam focuses on strong defensive formations.
This indigenous sport has gained international recognition while maintaining its deep cultural roots in rural India. Modern kabaddi has evolved with professional leagues, but still preserves the traditional rules and spirit that have made it a beloved national pastime for centuries. |
