Defending continental champions, the Indian men’s kabaddi squad, maintained their flawless form at the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, storming to an emphatic 63-31 victory over South Korea in their second Group A pool encounter. From the opening whistle, the Indian lineup displayed complete technical superiority, dominating both offensive raiding raids and defensive tackling combinations.
India’s star raiders consistently breached the South Korean defensive perimeter, claiming multiple multi-point raids and inflicting four comprehensive all-outs across the forty minutes of physical play. In the defensive corner positions, Indian tacklers executed flawless ankle holds and chain blocks that effectively shut down South Korea’s key offensive playmakers and starved them of scoring opportunities.
With two dominant wins under their belt, India solidified their unchallenged position at the summit of Group A and took another decisive step toward the knockout semifinals. Coaching staff rotated bench talent during the second half to provide vital international match exposure to emerging squad members ahead of high-stakes medal rounds.
