Kabaddi, a popular sport among Asian countries, is supposed to be a highlight of the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou. The competitive sport is usually played between two teams of seven players. A "raider" runs into the opposing team's court and touches one of the opponents, and then runs back to their own court without being caught by the defenders to notch up points. It will now be played during the Asian Games that will run from September 23 to October 8 in 2023.
