Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport that originated in ancient India. It is played between two teams of seven players each. The objective of the game is for a single player, known as the raider, to enter the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half, all while holding their breath and chanting kabaddi. The defenders must stop the raider from returning by tackling them. Points are scored based on successful raids and tackles. Kabaddi requires strength, speed, and strategic thinking, and it is popular in India as a rural pastime and professional sport, with leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League gaining international attention. |
