The Indian National kabaddi Team Has Won All The World Cups


Kabaddi is a sport which is given by India to the world. It is a rather simple and inexpensive game, and neither requires a large playing area, nor any expensive equipment to play with. This is the one of the major reasons why kabaddi became a popular sport in rural India especially, initially as a recreational sport.Kabaddi is a contact team sport that originated in Indian subcontinent in Tamil Nadu. It is popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Bihar and Punjab. It is also the national sport of Bangladesh.
Two teams compete, each occupying its own half of the court. They take turns sending a "raider" into the opposing team's half and earn points if the raider manages to touch opposing team members and return to the home half, all while taking only a single breath. If however the raider is tackled and prevented from returning, the opposing team earns the point.
                                                             
The Kabaddi World Cup has been held in 2 different styles - Standard Style & Circle Style. All of them have been won by India in both men’s and women’s format.
