Asian Games 2018: 5 things that went wrong for the Indian Kabaddi team in the semifinal against Iran

#4 Inability to effect an all-out on Iran

Was the Indian team inexperienced to pull off an all-out?

While much of the focus will have to undoubtedly fall on Iran's defensive prowess, one must not forget what a super tackle means. A super tackle is only effective when there are three or fewer defenders on the mat.

Iran did affect five super tackles on India, which means that they were three or fewer defenders on the mat on all those five occasions.

Given India's depth in the raiding department, the Men in Blue should have backed themselves to inflict the all-out on at least two or three of those occasions.

Instead, the Iranians pounced on the Indians and the chance to inflict the all-out went begging and with that, the match as well.
