“A game of thrills, trials and triumph A game symbolising the victory of virtue over vice A game that imprints its legacy within our hearts, minds, and souls.”
Kabaddi is fast, furious, and physical, making for a great spectacle – a fact vindicated by the ever-rising global popularity of Pro Kabaddi. This franchise-based kabaddi league started in India in 2014. The game is a man-to-man competition between two teams. Each team had a count of 10 members. A kabaddi match typically runs for 40 minutes (two halves of 20 minutes each). The match started with a coin toss between the two teams and the winner can decide whether to raid or defend first. Each team is allowed two time-outs in each half.
