Kabaddi gave me everything:

Kabaddi in India:

Kabaddi is the indigenous game of India. It is played for centuries and is a symbol of courage and sportiveness.  It is unlike other games needs more discipline and strength. But it does not get the necessary recognition for a long time until recently. Only in the last few years with the introduction of  Pro Kabaddi, popularity has increased for this ancient game.

Kabaddi World cup 2019:

It was not India but Malaysia which hosted the Kabaddi cup 2019. The tournament had 32 men kabaddi teams from across five continents. There was also a women's Kabaddi world cup with 16 women's team. It was conducted from July 20th to 28th.  It sure makes Kabaddi an international game.  And India, as usual, won the cup this time by beating Iraq 57-27.

Pro-Kabaddi:

To make Kabaddi popular, many Indian sports stalwarts started the pro-kabaddi to be played every year in India. Twelve teams from various states participate to win the cup. Nearly 500 million people watch the pro kabaddi every year.  Dhanraj is eyeing to play in Prokabaddi soon.  It will make him more popular with his skills proved to millions of people and in the kabaddi world arena. 

Dhanraj is not only a world-class kabaddi player but sure to make many like him from his village and anyone seeking to play Kabaddi.
