Men’s Kabaddi

Kabaddi is an ancient Indian sport that has seen a renewal in recent years. Kabaddi is combines of physical strength, flexibility and strategy to provide an engaging performance for audiences. 

 

The sport soon found popularity in Asia and was included as a demonstration sport at the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982. Kabaddi at the Asian Games was a competition of men’s only. But, now it has become a popular game, and women have also started playing Kabbadi everywhere in the world. The Indian men’s teams went unbeaten throughout the 2010 editions and claimed gold.

In the men’s event, the Indian national kabaddi team lost its first-ever game, going down 23-24 to South Korea in the group stages. India finished second in Group A to progress to the semi-finals but soon suffered their second loss, going down to eventual champions Iran to end up with bronze.

The Pro Kabaddi League, abbreviated to PKL, is an Indian men’s professional Kabaddi league. It was launched in 2014 and is broadcast on Star Sports. It is the most popular kabaddi league in the world. It is also the second most-watched sports league in India after the Indian Premier League (IPL). Puneri Paltan are the current champions of PKL.

The Pro Kabaddi League is a men’s Kabaddi League that is played by men’s teams from different countries. The league’s inception was influenced by the popularity of the  Kabaddi Tournament at the 2006 Asian Games. The format of the competition was influenced by the IPL (Indian Premier League). The Pro Kabaddi League uses a franchise-based model, and its first season was held in 2014 with eight teams, each of which paid fees of up to US$250,000 to join.

In the game of Kabaddi, both women and men take part and compete at the very highest level. In general, men are larger and more potent than ladies, which may supply them with a bonus in bodily demanding situations along with tackling and blocking. In global competitions, men play a trendy model of the sport called “seasoned Kabaddi,” which is a 7- aspect sport performed on a bigger court with an extended period of play.

Kabaddi is a recreation that is loved with the aid of each woman and man, and each gender has their very own precise strengths and weaknesses. Both women and men can excel in the game, and it is critical that we guide and inspire participation from each gender in Kabaddi.
