Kabaddi is the national sport of Bangladesh.

In Kabaddi, two teams compete with each other for higher scores, by touching or capturing the players of the opposing team. The side winning the toss sends a 'raider', who enters the opponents' court chanting, 'kabaddi-kabaddi'. The raider's aim is to touch any or all players on the opposing side, and return to his court in one breath. The person whom the raider touches will then be out. The aim of the opposing team will be to hold the raider and stop him from returning to his own court until he takes another breath.
