Essay On My Favourite Game Kabaddi
There are many different games played all over the world. Everybody has his or her favorite game. My favorite game is Kabaddi. This game is still popular in Indian villages and even in the cities. District-level matches are held in rural areas. It provides entertainment and also gives lots of exercises. No costly equipment is needed in this game.
Kabaddi has been a favorite game of India for a long time. It needs a rectangular ground. There are two teams with 12 players each. The players of different teams wear different colored trousers. However, only seven players are allowed on the field at a time. The best player leads the team.
The game starts with the introduction of team members followed by the toss. The team that wins the toss starts the game. The player of this team crosses the boundary and enters the field of the opposite team. He tries to catch the players of the opposite team. While doing so he has to continuously say—Kabaddi Kabaddi’ … The number of players of the opposite team he touches is declared out and the other team gains that many points.
If the player discontinues saying Kabaddi Kabaddi— while he is in the opposite field, he is declared out and the team loses a point. If a player is caught while in the opposite field and he could not touch the middle line, he is declared out.
Thus the game continues with every player going in the opposite team’s field. The total game lasts for fifty minutes. On completion of the game, a trophy is presented to the winning team.
Kabaddi helps in the overall development of a person. It inculcates the habit of discipline and following rules. The game is gaining popularity in schools and colleges. Now it is being played at the national level too and I am very sure that very shortly it would be an international game.
