Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India. It is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players each. The objective of the game is for a single player on offense, referred to as a raider, to run into the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath.
The game is known for its simplicity and requires no equipment, making it popular in rural areas. Kabaddi has gained international recognition and is now played in countries across Asia and beyond. The Pro Kabaddi League in India has significantly increased the sport\“s popularity and commercial value.
Kabaddi combines elements of wrestling and rugby, emphasizing strength, speed, and strategy. It is not only a sport but also a cultural activity that promotes physical fitness and teamwork. The sport is governed by the International Kabaddi Federation, which organizes world championships and other international competitions. |
