Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in the state of Tamil Nadu. This ancient game has been played for centuries in rural India and is now recognized as the national sport of Bangladesh and the state game of several Indian states including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Punjab.
The sport involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team （known as the raider） enters the opponent\“s half while chanting kabaddi repeatedly without taking a breath. The raider must tag as many defenders as possible and return to their own half, while the defenders try to stop the raider from returning.
Kabaddi has gained international recognition and is now played in many countries worldwide, with professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India attracting millions of viewers and significant commercial investment. |
