Kabaddi is the game where teams occupied 7 players from which one player goes to another court of opposition team and tried to touch as many as people without tackling himself by opposition and come again to his own court. Court are two types : 1. Circle 2. Rectangular

I think it is the only game which place in outdoor and indoor as well. A player who goes to opposition team to touch the opponents is called a Raider & person who tackles the Raider is called Defender. There is also a term used called All Rounder who is good at Raiding and defending.

We talk about rectangular which is more famous due to ProKabaddi league. ProKabaddi league (PKL) is started on 2014 in India. Its played similar like indoor team version of Kabaddi but changes some rules to get more score extra points.

PKL completed five seasons till 2017 and also the 6th season is coming on 05 OCT 2018. It was viewed by 313 million viewers with a watch time of 100 billion minutes, with the finals of Season 5 becoming the most viewed non-cricket sporting event on Indian Television.

In PKL, there are 12 teams particaptes which are shows below following:

  1. GUJARAT SUPERGIANTS
  2. PATNA PIRATES
  3. HARYANA STEELERS
  4. JAIPUR PINK PANTHERS
  5. TAMIL THALAIVAS
  6. TELUGU TITANS
  7. BENGALURU BULLS
  8. BENGAL WARRIORS
  9. PUNERI PALTAN
  10. U MUMBA
  11. UP YODHAS
  12. DELHI DABANG

The Game is fantastic because a raider have to compete with 7 players. A player name Pardeep narwal touches 6 players and gets 8 points in single raid. It is a little bit mixture of wrestling, long jump and kicking like karate.

The Kabaddi game is originates from India and won 7 seasons of ASIAN GAMES in kabaddi but at recently in ASIAN GAMES 2018, Iran defeated India in semi-finals and beats the Korea in Final to become a new Champion in Kabaddi games.
