It is popular in the Indian subcontinent andother surrounding Asian countries such asIran and Pakistan. Although ancientaccounts of kabaddi appear in thehistories of both modern-day India andIran, the game was popularized as acompetitive sport in the 20th century byIndia; it is the state game of the Indianstates of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana,Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab,Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.It is also the national sport ofBangladesh.[1]
The game is known by its regional namesin different parts of the Indian
subcontinent, such as kabaddi orchedugudu in Andhra Pradesh, kabaddi inKarnataka, Kerala and Telangana, haduduin Bangladesh, bhavatik in Maldives, kauddior kabaddi in the Punjab region, hu-tu-tu inWestern India, hu-do-do in Eastern India,chadakudu in South India, kapardi in Nepaland kabaddi or saduguda in Tamil nadu.The word "kabaddi" is derived from theTamil word "kai-pidi” (ைகப��, "to holdhands").[2]
The exact origins of Kabaddi are disputed,with theories suggesting that Kabaddi
History
originated from either the Vedic period ofIndian history, or the Sistan region ofpresent-day Iran. The game was said tohave been popular among the Yadavapeople, an abhang by Tukaram stated thatthe god Krishna played the game in hisyouth, while the Mahabharata contains anaccount of Arjuna similarly being able tosneak into hostile areas and take outenemies unscathed. There are alsoaccounts of Gautama Buddha havingplayed the game recreationally. Despitethese conflicting claims, India has beencredited with having helped to popularizeKabaddi as a competitive sport, with thefirst organized competitions occurring in
the 1920's, their introduction to theprogramme of the Indian Olympic Gamesin 1938, the establishment of the All-IndiaKabaddi Federation in 1950, and beingplayed as a demonstration sport at theinaugural 1951 Asian Games in New Delhi.These developments helped to formalizethe sport, which had traditionally beenplayed in villages, for legitimateinternational competition.[3][4][5]
After being demonstrated again at the1982 Asian Games in Delhi, kabaddi wasadded to the Asian Games' programmebeginning in 1990.[6]
Standard style
In the international team version ofkabaddi, two teams of seven memberseach occupy opposite halves of a court of10 by 13 metres (33 ft × 43 ft) in case ofmen and 8 by 12 metres (26 ft × 39 ft) incase of women. Each has five

supplementary players held in reserve. Thegame is played with 20-minute halves, witha 5-minute half break in which the teamsexchange sides. During each play, knownas a "raid", a player from the attackingside, known as the "raider", runs into theopposing team's side of the court andattempts to tag as many of the sevendefending players as possible. For a raid tobe eligible for points, the raider must crossthe bob line in the defending team'sterritory, and return to their half of the fieldwithout being tackled. Whilst doing so, theraider must also chant the word "kabaddi",confirming to referees that their raid isdone on a single breath without inhaling. A
30-second shot clock is also enforced oneach raid.[7][8][9][2]
A point is scored for each defendertagged. If the raider steps beyond thebonus line marked in the defending team'sterritory, they earn an additional point. Ifthe raider is successfully stopped, theopposing team earns a point instead. Allplayers tagged are taken out of the game,but one is "revived" for each point a teamscores from a subsequent tag or tackle(bonus points do not revive players).Players who step out of the boundary orlobbies are also out. A raid where nopoints are scored by the raider is referred
to as an "empty raid". By contrast, a playwhere the raider scores three or morepoints is referred to as a "super raid". If ateam gets all seven players on theopposing team out at once ("All Out"), theyearn three additional points, and theplayers are placed back in thegame.[7][8][9][2]
Additional rules are used in the ProKabaddi League; if a team has two emptyraids in a row, the next raider must score apoint on their next raid or else they will beout ("do-or-die raid"). Additionally, when adefending team has fewer than four
players left on the field, tackles are worth 2points ("super tackle").[7][8][9][2]
Circle Style
There are four major forms of kabaddiplayed in India which are recognised by theamateur federation. In Sanjeevani kabaddi,one player is revived against one player ofthe opposite team who is out. The game is
Circle Kabaddi
played over 40 min with a 5 min breakbetween halves. There are seven playerson each side and the team that outs all theplayers on the opponent’s side scores fourextra points. In Gaminee style, sevenplayers play on either side and a player putout has to remain out until all his teammembers are out. The team that issuccessful in ousting all the players of theopponent’s side secures a point. The gamecontinues until five or seven such pointsare secured and has no fixed timeduration. Amar style resembles theSanjeevani form in the time frame rule.But, a player who is declared out doesn’tleave the court, but instead stays inside,
and the play goes along. For every playerof the opposition touched “out”, a teamearns a point.[10] Punjabi kabaddi is avariation that is played on a circular pitchof a diameter of 22 metres (72 ft).[11]
