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

#4 Tactical indiscipline

The Indian defence, time and again, left humongous gaps for the Koreans to take advantage of.

Facing four defenders between himself and the halfway line in the 35th minute, Korean raider Dong Geon Lee managed to spot a huge gap between two defenders to run across the Indian half before turning 90 degrees to cross the line and win his team 2 points that set them on the course to victory.

This shouldn’t have come as a surprise for India, though, as Jang Kun Lee had attempted a similar move just 4 minutes prior, but Deepak Niwas Hooda had managed to hold onto him. Moments later, however, Dong was shown a similar gap, if not bigger, and this time, the Koreans struck gold.

Coach Balwan Singh should have spotted this massive error by the Indians when Jang Kun Lee attempted it and prevented Dong from exploiting the same error. A mistake which proved extremely costly.
