Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. This contact team sport originated in ancient India and is now played competitively across many countries.
The sport involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team (known as the raider) enters the opposing team\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly in one breath. The defenders must try to stop the raider from returning to their half while avoiding being tagged.
Amir Mohammad Zafar Danesh has been associated with promoting kabaddi and bringing attention to this indigenous Indian sport on global platforms. His contributions have helped showcase the cultural significance and athletic demands of this traditional game.
Kabaddi requires exceptional physical fitness, breath control, strategic thinking, and quick reflexes. The sport has evolved from rural playgrounds to professional leagues, with the Pro Kabaddi League in India becoming one of the most watched sporting events in the country. |
