Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient times. It is played in rural areas and local communities, often with simple rules and minimal equipment. The game involves two teams, where a raider from one team enters the opponent\“s half to tag players and return safely while holding their breath and chanting kabaddi. It emphasizes physical strength, agility, and teamwork, and is commonly played in villages and schools across India.
Pro Kabaddi, on the other hand, is a professional league version of kabaddi that was launched in 2014. It is organized by the Mashal Sports and Star Sports network in India. Pro Kabaddi features franchise-based teams, modern rules, and high-tech equipment, making it more fast-paced and entertaining. It includes elements like time limits, points systems, and celebrity involvement, which have helped popularize the sport globally. This version is broadcast on television and digital platforms, attracting a wide audience and boosting the sport\“s commercial appeal. |
