India’s kabaddi team once again demonstrated their supremacy on the global stage by winning the 2024 Kabaddi World Cup, held in Ahmedabad. The host nation defeated Iran 38-22 in a thrilling final, marking India’s fourth consecutive World Cup title in the sport.

The Indian team, led by captain Pardeep Narwal, dominated the tournament from the outset. They advanced to the final unbeaten, showcasing their well-rounded skill set and tactical acumen. The final match against Iran was expected to be a tight contest, given Iran’s strong performance throughout the tournament. However, India’s combination of aggressive raiding and tight defensive strategies proved too much for the Iranian side.

Pardeep Narwal, the star raider for India, was the standout performer, scoring 12 raid points and leading his team with precision and poise. The defense, led by the experienced Sandeep Narwal and Surjeet Singh, was impenetrable, successfully neutralizing Iran’s key raiders.

Speaking after the victory, Pardeep Narwal said, “It’s a proud moment for all of us. We played as a unit, and everyone contributed. This win is dedicated to our fans who have supported us throughout the tournament. We knew Iran would be tough, but we stuck to our game plan and executed it perfectly.”

The victory solidifies India’s position as the undisputed leader in international kabaddi, and the team’s focus now shifts to preparing for the Asian Games, where they will be defending their gold medal.
