Kabaddi is a popular contact sport originating from ancient India that has gained international recognition. The do or die raid is one of the most exciting rules in kabaddi that adds strategic depth to the game.
In kabaddi terminology, a do or die raid occurs when the defending team successfully tackles two consecutive raiders from the opposing team without conceding any points. This rule forces the next raider to score a point during their raid, otherwise they will be declared out and their team will lose the chance to score.
The do or die rule was introduced to make kabaddi more competitive and prevent teams from playing defensively. This rule encourages raiders to be more aggressive and strategic in their approach, making the game more thrilling for spectators.
Traditional Indian kabaddi equipment includes the playing court (13x10 meters for men, 12x8 meters for women), boundary lines, and the distinctive continuous chanting of kabaddi kabaddi by raiders during their attacks. |
