Simple, visceral, fun: why the ancient sport of kabaddi is enjoying a resurgence
India is hosting the first Kabaddi World Cup for nine years, and a once quaint pastime – a mix of red rover, wrestling and tag – is getting a makeover
Hasnain says:
I had no idea Kabaddi had a world cup and that apparently 200M people watch it.
The list of competing countries is also surprising:
"Teams from 12 countries – India, Iran, Bangladesh, Thailand, the United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, England, Poland, Kenya, and Argentina – are competing in the first edition of the Kabaddi World Cup in nine years, and the first since its revolution into a modern sporting enterprise."
