Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained immense popularity in recent years. This contact team sport originated in ancient India and is now played in many countries around the world.
The game involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team runs into the opposing team\“s half while chanting \“kabaddi, kabaddi\“ and tries to touch as many defenders as possible before returning to their own half. The defenders must stop the raider from returning to their side while avoiding being touched.
In India, kabaddi is particularly popular in rural areas and has deep cultural roots. The Pro Kabaddi League, launched in 2014, has significantly increased the sport\“s visibility and commercial value in India and internationally.
The sport requires strength, speed, and strategic thinking, making it an exciting spectacle for viewers. Traditional kabaddi matches are often held during festivals and local celebrations across various Indian states. |
