What do wrestling, tag, martial arts, and breath control have in common? Kabaddi! In this adrenaline-pumping episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson dives into the thrilling world of Kabaddi, a centuries-old Indian sport now making international headlines. From its mythological roots in the Mahabharata to its modern-day revival through the Pro Kabaddi League, we trace Kabaddi’s incredible journey across history, culture, and continents.

You will meet fearless raiders, strategic defenders, and incredible women breaking barriers through the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or have heard “kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi” for the first time, this episode will leave you breathless — literally.

Tune in to learn why this high-octane game is more than just a sport; it’s a movement.
