Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition. In a standard kabaddi match, there are 7 players on each team on the court at any given time. This makes a total of 14 players actively participating in the game simultaneously.
The sport originated in ancient India and has been played for centuries in rural communities. Each team consists of 12 players in total, with 7 starting players and 5 substitutes. The substitutes can be rotated during the game as per the rules and requirements.
Kabaddi requires no sophisticated equipment and is played on a rectangular court. The game involves two teams taking turns sending a raider into the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly in one breath.
This indigenous Indian sport has evolved over time and now has professional leagues. The simplicity of the game combined with the minimal equipment requirements makes it accessible to people across different socioeconomic backgrounds in India. |
