Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India. It is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players each.
The objective of kabaddi is for a single player on offense, referred to as a raider, to run into the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath.
Kabaddi requires both physical strength and mental agility. Players need to have good lung capacity, speed, strategic thinking, and team coordination.
This indigenous Indian sport has gained international recognition and is now played in many countries worldwide. The Pro Kabaddi League in India has significantly increased the sport\“s popularity and commercial value.
Kabaddi showcases India\“s rich cultural heritage and demonstrates how traditional games can evolve into professional sports with global appeal. |
