sscomp32 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 great show by patna. Rakesh' date=' Girish and another indian defender (forgot his name, some kumar shah I think) played well. I think Navneet Gautam broke the winning combination for Jaipur to some extent... they had won like 7 matches in a row before he came back for Patna game.[/quote'] D suresh is the other indian defender. But the MVP of team is turning out to be Sanddep Narwal. He is scoring points both in defence and attack. For Jaipur the same thing happened which happened with patna in thier loss to jaipur. Patna started and didnt give even 1 moment to jaipur and patna kept on dominating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscomp32 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 First match was such a disappointment. After dominating vizag for whole match Kolkata setted for a tame draw. :boring: At one point they were leading by 12 points if i am not wrong. Couldn't watch the 2nd half of second match but jaipur were trailing in 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscomp32 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The Vizag guy who got caught was an idiot. All he had to do was waste time in front of the line +1. What a fool. :facepalm: Even the coach was very angry at that. Vizag just needed a tie and then Bengaluru would have to defeat Jaipur which is looking impossible on current form. Now bengaluru just have to avoid a defeat of more than 10 points. BTW Ravi Dalal is the master of time wasting. :giggle: When ever patna need to waste time he come to raid. Patna wasted atleast 2/3 raids last match just so that benagaluru did not have a chance to score . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscomp32 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 http://online.wsj.com/articles/what-is-kabaddi-new-league-draws-sellout-crowds-in-india-1409071324 NEW DELHI—Rahul Chaudhari tagged an opponent, spun away from a tackle and sprinted back across the midline of the court before taunting his rivals with a celebratory move: a midair split with a fist pump. The lanky Mr. Chaudhari is a rising star in India's newest professional sport: Kabaddi. An ancient Indian game, kabaddi in its newest incarnation is like a high-octane mix of tag and Greco-Roman wrestling. Since the start of its first season last month, it has been drawing sellout crowds and big television audiences. The new league, known as Pro Kabaddi, is backed by Anand Mahindra, chairman of one of India's biggest conglomerates, Mahindra Group, 500520.BY -0.26% which, among other things, is the world's largest manufacturer of tractors. TAG TEAM: Some of India's wealthiest businessmen have created a new league for Kabaddi. Junho Kim Franchise owners include the Future Group, run by Indian big-box store pioneer Kishore Biyani, and the former head of Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.40% 's Indian unit, Ronnie Screwvala. Professional sports have had mixed success in India. Cricket is the most established, but even the sport's Indian Premier League has struggled in recent years with declining television viewership and ticket sales. Still, investors continue to believe that the country of 1.2 billion has the raw ingredients needed to make sports a success. Billionaire Mukesh Ambani is investing in a soccer league that kicks off later this year, and he has plans for a basketball league as well. Indians' taste in sports can be hard for some outsiders to fathom. Cricket is the most popular sport in the country. The country also has pro leagues for badminton and men's field hockey. India's newest professional sport, kabaddi, is drawing big crowds. Pictured, a Pro Kabaddi league match. Junho Kim While few outside of the subcontinent have ever heard of kabaddi, most Indians played the sport as children in schoolyards and backyards across India. It occupies a niche a bit like red rover or capture the flag. Players called raiders attempt to tag opponents and get back to their own side of the court without being tackled. If they succeed, the tagged players are out and the raider's team gets a point. If the raider is tackled, the opposing team scores a point. The catch: raiders have to hold their breath the whole time they are in enemy territory sprinting around trying to tag players. To prove they are not inhaling, raiders repeatedly say kabaddi. Judging by TV viewership so far, kabaddi is already India's second-most-popular professional sport, after cricket. View Graphics Nearly 220 million Indians tuned in to watch the first eight days of Pro Kabaddi, according to estimates from Star TV based on data from TAM Media Research, a company that tracks TV viewership in India. That is twice the number of Indians that watched this year's World Cup over its first eight days. Star is owned by 21st Century Fox Inc., which until last year was part of Wall Street Journal owner News Corp. "We knew we were tapping into something that was visceral, something in our bloodstream," said Mr. Mahindra, adding that he played kabaddi as a child. "But to be honest, the response has shocked us." Still, Mr. Mahindra said, he isn't counting on making money from the venture any time soon. Jubin Jacob, a 23-year-old architecture student, said he has been tuning in to the Pro Kabaddi games. "I think kabaddi has the right mixture of the violence of a contact sport and strategy," he said. "You can't just have strength and speed; you also have to think fast." Player Gurpreet Singh of the Bangalore Bulls got his start in the game in rural Punjab, the northwestern Indian state where he was born. He will be making 1.2 million rupees, or nearly $20,000, for the two-month Pro Kabaddi season. His regular gig is playing for the Punjab Police, a local team sponsored by the state police. He earns around $800 a month on the police squad, and used the money to buy a house, "buffaloes and two cars," he said. In Indian villages, "the main game is kabaddi," Mr. Singh said. "In cricket, the action happens only between two players, and everyone else stands far away. But kabaddi is complicated." It has even developed a bit of a following outside India, and there are a handful of non-Indian players competing in the pro league. Hong Dongju from Busan, South Korea, is a defender for the Delhi team. He started playing when he was in college. When Mr. Hong told his parents he wanted to move to India to be a professional kabaddi player, they weren't thrilled. "Kabaddi is not popular in Korea. So they weren't happy about it at the beginning," he said. Now they just want him to avoid injury, especially to his face. "I still have to get married," he said. When the league rolled into Delhi in early August, thousands turned up to watch the Telugu Titans take on Dabang Delhi at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, an arena built for netball competitions in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Spectators jumped to their feet screaming, blowing whistles and waving foam fingers as the announcer counted down to the match. The Titans sprinted out under a shower of pyrotechnics, and the players bent forward to touch the floor and then touched their foreheads in a display of respect. After the national anthem and the coin toss, Delhi's star player, Surjeet Narwal, hopped across the midline. Shuffling from one side of the ring to the other, Mr. Narwal darted his hands out at defenders trying to tag them out. "Watch for that hand touch, he's got a great hand touch," said the play-by-play commentator. With Delhi up by two, Telugu star Mr. Chaudhari raided, showing off his signature shiftiness, said the commentators. "The best thing about him is he is so unpredictable—which leg he is going to use, you will never know." "Dodging around people, jumping over and under them and just keeping the momentum going by saying 'kabaddi, kabaddi,' this is what I love about kabaddi," Mr. Chaudhari said. Despite a late comeback, Delhi couldn't overcome Mr. Chaudhari's moves, losing to the Titans 39-35. —Suryatapa Bhattacharya and Aditi Malhotra contributed to this article. :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
