In the summit clash of the kabaddi event of the Khasdar Krida Mahotsav between Katol’s Sai Sporting Club women and Sangharsh Krida Mandal, Sai emerged as winners by a marrow margin of 26-24. Often, in the game of Kabaddi, when tow strong teams are playing each other, they played a close game.

In the Pro-Kabaddi League, four games have tied so far. This shows how a Kabaddi game can get to a player’s and fans’ nerves when things get intense. The same was seen during the semifinal and fina games of the Women’s event. Their male counterparts registered easy wins in the end
