Asian Games 2018, Men's Kabaddi: India vs Korea - 5 Talking Points

#2 India's raiders grounded as Korean defenders steal the show

The Korean defence stood its ground against India.

Despite winning both their games yesterday, India's raiders had a decent, but not great outing. They looked a little sluggish and against Korea today, they were once again put under enormous pressure by a very sharp Korean defence.

The Koreans were brilliant in defence today, especially the cover defenders, who were very quick to clamp down on India's star raiders. Young Chang Ko was particularly brilliant. Ajay Thakur, Pardeep Narwal, Rohit Kumar and Monu Goyat all struggled, much of it due to the Korean defence's efforts. Their dashes were quick and decisive and defended in packs extremely well.
