Kabaddi is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players, The objective of the
game is for a single player on offense, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half
of the court, touch out as many of their players as possible, and return to their own half of the court,
all without being tackled by the defenders in 30 seconds. Points are scored for each player tagged by
the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the
game if they are touched or tackled, but return to the game after each point scored by their team
from a tag or tackle.
It is popular in the Indian subcontinent and other surrounding Asian countries. Although accounts of
kabaddi appear in the history of India, the game was popularised as a competitive sport in the 20th
century. It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is the second most popular and viewed sport in
India after cricket. It is the state game of the Indian states of Andhra
Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Tamil
Nadu, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.
There are two major disciplines: "Punjabi kabaddi", also called "circle style", comprises traditional
forms of the sport that are played on a circular field outdoors, and the "standard style", on a
rectangular court indoors, is played in major professional leagues and international competitions
such as the Asian Games.
This game is known by numerous names in different parts of the Indian subcontinent, such
as: kabaddi or chedugudu in Andhra
Pradesh and Telangana; kabaddi in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala; kabaddi, komonti or ha-du-
du in West Bengal and Bangladesh; baibalaa in Maldives, kauddi or kabaddi in the Punjab region; hu-
tu-tu in Western India, ha-do-do in Eastern India; chadakudu in South
India; kapardi in Nepal; kabadi or sadugudu in Tamil Nadu; and chakgudu in Sri Lanka.
The goal of the game is to score more points (runs) than the other team. The players on the team at
bat attempt to score runs by touching all four bases, in order, set at the corners of the square-
shaped baseball diamond. A player bats at home plate and must attempt to safely reach a base
before proceeding, counterclockwise, from first base, to second base, third base, and back home to
score a run. The team in the field attempts to prevent runs from scoring by recording outs, which
remove opposing players from offensive action until their next turn at bat comes up again. When
three outs are recorded, the teams switch roles for the next half-inning. If the score of the game is
tied after nine innings, extra innings are played to resolve the contest. Many amateur games,
particularly unorganized ones, involve different numbers of players and innings.
The opposing teams switch back and forth between batting and fielding; the batting team's turn to
bat is over once the fielding team records three outs. One turn batting for each team constitutes
an inning. A game is usually composed of nine innings, and the team with the greater number of runs
at the end of the game wins. Most games end after the ninth inning, but if scores are tied at that
point, extra innings are usually played. Baseball has no game clock, though some competitions
feature pace-of-play regulations such as the pitch clock to shorten game time.
