Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. The scoring system in kabaddi is unique and fascinating, making it an exciting game to watch and play.
In kabaddi, points are scored in several ways. The main way to score is through successful raids. A raider enters the opponent\“s court while continuously chanting \“kabaddi\“ and tries to touch as many defenders as possible before returning to his own half. Each defender touched scores one point for the raiding team.
Defenders can also score points by stopping the raider from returning to his half. If they successfully tackle the raider and prevent his return, they score one point for their team. Additionally, if all seven players of the opposing team are declared out, the defending team scores two bonus points.
The game is played in two halves of 20 minutes each, with a five-minute break in between. Teams switch sides after halftime. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Kabaddi has become increasingly popular in India, with professional leagues like Pro Kabaddi attracting large audiences and talented players from across the country. |
