Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained immense popularity worldwide. As we look ahead to 2025, the sport continues to evolve with new strategies and international competitions.
Originating in ancient India, kabaddi is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players each. The objective is for a single player, known as the raider, to run into the opposing team\“s half, tag out as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half, all while holding their breath and chanting kabaddi.
In 2025, we expect to see significant advancements in kabaddi equipment and training methods. Indian manufacturers are developing innovative knee pads, elbow guards, and specialized footwear that provide better protection and performance for players.
The Pro Kabaddi League, India\“s premier professional kabaddi league, continues to drive the sport\“s commercialization and global reach. By 2025, we anticipate expanded international participation and higher production values in broadcasting. |
