The sport involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team (the raider) enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly in one breath.
This traditional Indian product has evolved into a professional sport with the Pro Kabaddi League, showcasing India\“s rich cultural heritage. The game requires strength, speed, and strategic thinking, making it a complete sport that tests both physical and mental abilities of players.
