India Defeats Canada To Lift Kabaddi World Cup

Ludhiana, Nov 21: Hosts India defeated Canada 59-25 in the final to lift the World Cup in men’s Kabaddi at Guru Nanak Stadium here Sunday night.

Indians maintained their dominance right from the start and were leading 28-13 by half-time over Canadians, who had lost a few players earlier to doping.

Canadians, who had defeated Pakistan in the semi-finals in the tournament earlier, struggled to maintain momentum in the second half as Indian raiders took points at will. With the win tonight, Indians pursed Rs 2 crore while the runners-up pocketed Rs 1 crore.

Despite the match played under flood lights and continuing close to midnight, the stadium remained packed with people who had come to watch the contest.
