Kabaddi is an exciting, high-energy contact team sport that mixes strategy, agility, and teamwork. Played between two teams of 12 players each, with 7 players on the field at a time, the goal is simple—score more points than the other team within 40 minutes of play (two 20-minute halves).
Here’s how it works:
When attacking, the offensive team sends a raider into the opposition’s side of the court. The raider must chant “Kabaddi” continuously while trying to tag as many of the opposing players as possible, then return to their side within 30 seconds. The more players they tag, the more points they score. But if they fail to return to the midline or are tackled, they’re out!
The defending team’s goal is to stop the raider by using a mix of holds, tackles, and defensive strategies. They can use moves like the angle hold, back hold, or front tackle to stop the raider from scoring.
Key Terms in Kabaddi:
- Lobby: An extended play area that comes into play when a defender is touched, allowing more space for both the raider and defender.
- Bonus Line: Activated when there are 6 or 7 defenders on the court. A raider can score one point by stepping into the bonus line and returning to the midline.
- Super Tackle: When there are 3 or fewer defenders on the field, and they successfully tackle a raider, they score two points—one for the tackle and one for the challenge.
- Do or Die Raid: If a team has two unsuccessful raids, their third raid is a “do or die”—failure to score means the raider is out.
- All Out: In rare cases, if the raider eliminates all defenders in a single raid, the raiding team gets one point per defender plus two extra points for the win.
