Kabaddi is a popular contact sport played by two teams on opposite halves of the filed. Each team has seven players and the objective of the game is for a single player on offence, called a raider, to run into the opposing team part of the filed and tag out as many of their defenders as possible. When they cross onto the other team’s side, riders repeat ‘kabaddi, kabaddi’.

The player has to return in its own half of the field in a single breath, without being tackled by the defenders. Points are given for each player that the raider successfully tagged, while the other teams earns points if they can stop the raider. Also, the players are out of the game if they are tackled or tagged, if they step out of the field or if they stop chanting, but can be brought back for each point scored by their team for the same actions.
