Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India and is now played internationally. In kabaddi, each team consists of 7 players on the court at a time. The game involves two teams taking turns to send a raider into the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi without taking a breath.
This indigenous Indian sport has gained popularity worldwide and is governed by the International Kabaddi Federation. The 7 players in each team have specific roles - raiders who score points by touching opponents, and defenders who try to stop the raiders from returning to their half.
Kabaddi equipment is simple and locally produced in India, including the playing field, which is typically a rectangular court measuring 13x10 meters for men and 12x8 meters for women. The sport requires no expensive gear, making it accessible to people across India. |
