Kabaddi is a contact team sport originating from ancient Tamil Nadu, India. Kabaddi is played between two teams of seven players. The objective of the game is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Imran Khan will be the distinguish chief guest on the opening day of this four day tournament.
