In kabaddi, a defender is a player whose primary role is to stop the raider from the opposing team from scoring points by tagging them or preventing them from returning to their half of the court. Defenders work together to form strategies, such as forming chains or using specific holds, to tackle the raider effectively. This position requires strength, agility, and quick decision-making, as defenders must anticipate the raider\“s moves and coordinate with teammates to secure outs. In India, kabaddi is a traditional sport deeply rooted in local culture, often played in villages and promoted through leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League, which has boosted its popularity and inspired local products such as kabaddi training equipment, jerseys, and community-based coaching programs. |
