Kabaddi World Cup: 5 reasons which contributed to India's loss to South Korea

#3 Better late than never for Jang Kun Lee

Jang Kun Lee cut a frustrated figure for the majority of the game

For 35 minutes, India had done a good job of keeping South Korea’s star raider quiet. The Indians were leading 29-27 with a little over a minute left in the match and would have won the match if not for the wily Lee.

With his smart raids, Anup Kumar had slowed down the tempo of the game while keeping the scorecard ticking. But, as Bengal Warriors fans would attest, Jang Kun Lee, however, isn’t one to give up when the chips are down. The 23-year-old South Korean took advantage of the Indian defenders by conjuring up a super raid to give his side the lead and sowed the seeds of doubt in the Indians’ minds.

After scoring just 1 raid points in the first 36 minutes, Lee mustered 8 points in his raids in the final 4 minutes to completely turn the tables around. He ended the match with 10 points to his name, which also included a solitary tackle point. Cometh the hour, cometh the man indeed!
