Trending
It is known that the sport of kabaddi had started in Tamil Nadu in the ancient generations, but the popularity of the sport has now reached a new high as it is now being played in different parts of the world. The sport did not use to have a lot of playing nations in the late 90s as well, but after the turn of the century, the sport has risen to great heights.
The sport now has teams from all the continents with India leading the way. But neighbouring nations have joined in to make it even more interesting for the fans of the sport. Bangladesh is one such nation which has made kabaddi, their national sport. Pakistan is also a nation that is always ranked amongst the top kabaddi playing nations but unfortunately, they will not be participating in this year’s World Cup due to the ongoing turmoil between the two neighbours.
In India, states such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Punjab, have all named the sport as their state sport due to the popularity among the masses. Such positive news for the sport will only help it to grow in the future as it is one of the most interesting and easy-to-follow sports.
