Yes, it is essential the player recite “Kabaddi” repetitively while raiding. This shows that the raider’s breath is not broken. The aim of the defending team is to restrain the raider long enough such that the raider breaks the chant of “Kabaddi”.

• According to me, in the new Pro Kabaddi League, each raid is limited by 30 seconds. Thus, the rule to chant Kabaddi is eased upon and is seen more as a tradition. In earlier times and in more rural areas, where timers are not available, this tradition used to be the measure of time.
