The 2020 Kabaddi World Cup recently concluded with Pakistan emerging as the World Champions. The world’s biggest Kabaddi tournament was eight-day long with matches held in Lahore, Faisalabad, Kartarpur and Nankana Sahib. This was the first time in the history of the tournament that a country other than India was awarded the hosting rights.
