India national kabaddi team

Oh hi there, little one! So, have you heard about Kabaddi? It's a really cool game that's super popular in India. In fact, India has its own national Kabaddi team that plays against other countries' Kabaddi teams.

So basically, in Kabaddi, two teams with seven players each play against each other. The aim of the game is to score points by 'raiding' the other team's territory. The raider has to touch one of the players on the other team and then run back to their own territory without being tackled by the other team. If the raider is successful, they get a point for their team.

But here's the catch - the raider has to keep saying "Kabaddi, Kabaddi, Kabaddi..." without taking a breath until they go back to their own territory. And the other team has to try and stop the raider from doing that by tackling them.

Now, the India national Kabaddi team is made up of some of the best Kabaddi players from all over India. They practice really hard and play against other countries' Kabaddi teams in big tournaments. And you know what's really cool? India has actually won quite a few Kabaddi World Cup championships!

So there you have it, little one. The India national Kabaddi team plays a really fun game called Kabaddi and they're really, really good at it!
