Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. The game is played between two teams, each consisting of 7 players on the court at a time. This makes a total of 14 players actively participating in the game during play.
The sport originated in ancient India and has been played for thousands of years. It requires no equipment and is played on a rectangular court measuring 13 meters by 10 meters for men and 12 meters by 8 meters for women. Each team takes turns sending a raider into the opponent\“s half while chanting kabaddi to score points by touching opponents and returning safely.
In addition to the 7 players on the court, teams typically have 3-5 substitute players who can be rotated during the game. The sport is particularly popular in rural India and has become a professional sport with leagues like Pro Kabaddi League attracting millions of viewers. |
