Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient times and is now popular across South Asia and globally. It is a contact team game played between two teams of seven players each. The objective is for a single player, known as the raider, to enter the opposing team\“s half, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half without being tackled, all while holding their breath and chanting kabaddi. The game emphasizes physical strength, agility, and strategic teamwork, making it a thrilling spectator sport. In India, kabaddi is deeply rooted in rural culture and has gained professional recognition through leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League, which showcases local talent and promotes the sport internationally. Key aspects include its simple rules, minimal equipment requirements, and its role in fostering community bonds and fitness. |
