Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition. It is played between two teams, and the main objective is for a raider to enter the opponent\“s court, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own court without being tackled. Here are the five essential rules of Kabaddi that define this exciting game.
First, the raider must continuously chant \“kabaddi\“ without taking a breath while in the opponent\“s court. This is known as the \“cant\“ rule, and if the raider stops chanting, they are declared out. Second, each team has seven players, and the game consists of two halves, each lasting 20 minutes. Third, a raider scores points by touching defenders, and defenders score by stopping the raider from returning. Fourth, if a raider is tackled successfully, they are out, and the opposing team earns a point. Fifth, all out occurs when all players of a team are declared out, resulting in extra points for the other team. These rules make Kabaddi a fast-paced and strategic sport deeply rooted in Indian culture. |
