The raider is required to execute each raid on a single breath; in order to prove that they are not inhaling, they are required to repeatedly chant the word "kabaddi", in a process referred to as a cant.[7][8][a]

Rononjoy Sen speculates in his book Nation At Play, that kabaddi originated during the Vedic period (between 1500 BC and 500 BC).[2] There are accounts of Gautama Buddha and Lord Krishna having played an ancient form of the sport.[10][11][12]

According to another version of the sport's origins, kabaddi originated in Maharashtra.[13] It was reportedly common among the ayrani maharashtrian people who lived in the pune geographical region of ancient Maharashtra. [14][15]

Modern kabaddi is a synthesis of the game played in various forms under different names in the Indian subcontinent.[18] India has been first credited with having helped to popularise kabaddi as a competitive sport, with the first organized competitions occurring in the 1920s,[19] their introduction to the programme of the Indian Olympic Games in 1938, the establishment of the All-India Kabaddi Federation in 1950,[19] and it being played as a demonstration sport at the inaugural 1951 Asian Games in New Delhi. These developments helped to formalize the sport, which had traditionally been played on muddy surfaces in villages,[20][21] for legitimate international competition.[10][11][12]

In the international team version of kabaddi, two teams of seven members each occupy opposite halves of a court of 10 by 13 metres (33 ft  43 ft) in case of men and 8 by 12 metres (26 ft  39 ft) in case of women.[19] Each has five supplementary players held in reserve for substitution.[19] The game is played with 20-minute halves with a 5-minute half time break in which the teams exchange sides.[19] During each play, known as a "raid", a player from the attacking side, known as the "raider", runs into the opposing team's side of the court and attempts to tag as many of the seven defending players as possible. The raider must cross the baulk line into the defending team's territory, and then return to their half of the field without being tackled. (If an attacker touches a defender and hasn't yet reached the baulk line, they do not need to reach the baulk line to score points and may return to their half of the court.)[24] While raiding, the raider must loudly chant kabaddi, confirming to referees that their raid is done on a single breath without inhaling. Each raid has a 30-second time limit.[25][26][27][28]

There are four major forms of Indian kabaddi recognised by the amateur federation.[6] In Sanjeevani Kabaddi, one player is revived against one player of the opposite team who is out. The game is played over 40 minutes with a five-minute break between halves. There are seven players on each side and the team that outs all the players on the opponent's side scores four extra points.

After the establishment of a new kabaddi organization named World Kabaddi Federation,[36] a 2019 Kabaddi World Cup was held in April 2019 at Malacca, Malaysia. It was the largest world cup in kabaddi history, consisting of 32 men's teams and 24 women's teams.[37]

The Indian national team won every men's and women's kabaddi competition in the Asian Games from 2002 through 2014. At the 2018 Asian Games, Iran became the first country other than India to win gold medals in kabaddi, with India's men's team winning bronze, and India's women's team being beaten by Iran to win silver.[38]

Yuva Kabaddi Series (YKS) is a franchise-based junior-category kabaddi tournament in India.[52][53] It is for players who are under 23 years old and below 80 kg (180 lb).[54][55] The inaugural Yuva Kabaddi Series was conducted in Jaipur in June 2022,[56] and was broadcast on OTT platform FanCode.[57][58][59] It is the second-largest kabaddi tournament in India, and the largest tournament in India in terms of number of matches played per year.[60]

Four seasonal editions are held every year.[61] Three tournaments were conducted in 2022: Summer Edition in Jaipur, Monsoon Edition at Ranchi,[62] and Winter Edition at Pondicherry; and two in 2023: the KMP YKS[63] in Maharashtra[64] (which was won by Ahmednagar) and Summer Edition Mysore.[65] For the first time in the history of Indian kabaddi, players from the North East will be playing in a tournament of this stature.

Each edition is contested over several rounds, with teams eliminated in each round, and the Summit Round acting as the playoffs of the tournament and leading to the final.[66][67][68] Several players who started off in YKS have gone on to play at higher levels of kabaddi competition, such as the Pro Kabaddi League (through the New Young Player initiative)[69] and the Junior Kabaddi World Cup.[70][71][72]

Kabaddi is a popular sport in the Indian subcontinent.[79] The governing federation for kabaddi in India is the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), which was founded in 1973 and compiled a standard set of rules. Kabaddi is the second-most popular sport in India, with the Pro Kabaddi League being watched by hundreds of millions of people each year.[80]The governing body for kabaddi in Pakistan is Pakistan Kabaddi Federation.

Best Signing: Piotr Pamulak. The Polish raider is an unknown entity in the PKL and could very well take the League by storm. He's played a bunch of kabaddi for Poland and their leagues, both on the mat as well as beach kabaddi. Oh, and he's also played American football!

In one of the biggest upsets in Asian Games history, Iran beat India 27-18 in the men's kabaddi semi-final on Thursday. This is only India's second ever defeat in the history of the competition and the first time they have failed to make the final. India's previous defeat had come only on Monday, when they lost to 23-24 Korea in the group stages.

"This is the saddest day for Indian kabaddi from where we had started out in 1990. The unfortunate thing is that kabaddi has grown but India has gone on a downward spiral in the sport. We have to look into the reasons. I wouldn't blame PKL (Pro Kabaddi League) so much. For the growth of the sport, PKL is important. Our players have grown majorly and earned a lot from it, but the problem is that they are living in a dreamland where they believe that they are the best in the world," said former player and Arjuna awardee Raju Bhavsar.

We are a sports club that aims to shine light on the Indian sport of kabaddi. The game of kabaddi is very simple and is basically a cross between tag and rugby.

Competition in the West Midlands promises to be fierce with the addition of Coventry adding a new layer of excitement to the league. The British Kabaddi League continues to grow in popularity, and Coventry's inclusion is a significant step towards making kabaddi more accessible and inclusive for communities across the region.

Prem Singh, Chief Executive, British Kabaddi League, added: "Coventry's inclusion in the British Kabaddi League marks a significant milestone in our mission to promote kabaddi as a growing sport in the UK. We are excited to build a strong, competitive team in Coventry and give other West Midlands cities some more good competition.

To those first watching kabaddi with no knowledge of the rules, it looks like a grown-up, modified version of tag. Stretches of running back and forth are broken up by frequent tackling and ankle grabbing. Once observers learn the rules and understand how the game works, its sophistication and complexity become clearer. 589ccfa754
