Have you ever listened to your parents about the Kabaddi game? Or do you have a memory of childhood about this game? Well, the Vivo Pro Kabaddi League 2025 is just one month away from now, and fans are excited about some of the goosebumps and thigh-slapper moments.
Kabaddi is one of the most beloved traditional games, which brings together the best players from across the country. Whether you are a long-time follower of Kabaddi or have just started to follow this game, this blog will help you to understand the game, how it’s played, and what to expect from the upcoming season of 2025.
What is the Kabaddi Game?
Kabaddi is a thrilling and fast-paced traditional Indian game. It involves two teams. A player from a team, known as the raider, enters the opposite team’s side. The raider attempts to tag (touch) as many players as possible and then return to his team’s side safely.
While doing this, the raider has to continue shouting “kabaddi, kabaddi” without pausing to catch his breath. If the raider is tagged by the opposing team before he returns, he gets eliminated. However, if he tags a player and returns without any problem, the tagged players get eliminated.
The game is simple to learn but action-packed. The players must be strong, quick, and cunning. It’s extremely thrilling to play and also fantastic to watch!
How is the Kabaddi game played?
Here are some of the basic rules of Kabaddi that will help you understand the rules of this game:
- Each team has 7 Players on the ground at a time.
- The match is played in two halves of 20 minutes each, with a 5-minute break.
- The raider scores points by touching defenders and coming back to their own yard safely.
- The opponent team scores by getting a grip on the raider before he returns to his yard.
- Teams also earn bonus points for certain achievements like super tackles or all-outs (when all 7 players of a team are out)
The kabaddi game requires quick thinking, teamwork, and a lot of stamina.
