Asian Kabaddi Championships 2017: 5 reasons why India might not win the competition

#4 Tight schedule and fatigue concerns

A lot of games on a single day could easily tire out the players

Kabaddi is a game that demands a lot from the players both mentally and physically. Although the game is split into two parts of twenty minutes each, each second counts which certainly forces players to bring out their A-game right throughout the contest.

This year, with more teams coming into the fray, the schedule looks like it will absolutely extract a lot from the players with three matches set to be played on one given day.

While India kick-starts its campaign with a game on 24th against Iran, 25th will certainly test the stamina of the players with three matches scheduled in a span of 10 hours with a gap of about three hours from each game.

The first game on 25th would feature India taking on Afghanistan while the next, four hours later will see them clashing against Japan and only three hours later, the most anticipated clash between India and Pakistan will take place.

With a gruelling schedule, it remains to see if the men will be up for the task and how the team strategies will make a difference in the final outcome.
