The 8th season of the Pro Kabaddi League is creating a buzz and is currently one of the most trending sports. After a gap of 2 years that occurred due to the pandemic, players have had vigorous sessions and are ready to make a setback.
Having said this, let us know more about the Kabaddi moves of three-time Pro Kabaddi League winners, Patna Pirates. Pradeep Narwal is one of the best players on the team, and we cannot forget his attack moves that every time manage to work in the team’s favor. These attacking moves are called Dubki, which is difficult but super impactful if used wisely. At times, when a raider gets surrounded by defenders, Dubki is one super Kabaddi move to escape the defence. It is a tricky move but can get the raider at least two or three points if he succeeds in his attack. Patna Pirates’ top player Pardeep Narwal excels in using this super move. During the game, it is one of his excellent weapons that gives a strong defeat to the opposition.
Frog Jump is another impressive Kabaddi move that helps the team stay a step ahead in the competition. The defender gives a strong tackle using this move in the raider’s lower part of the body. And, the raider needs to make a quick decision and escape the defender’s attack. This super Kabaddi move needs to be highly flexible and requires immense physical strength. It is one of the effective strategies to defeat the block or chain tackle.
Moving to another most efficient Kabaddi move, it is the running hand touch used by the raiders. The move is about the raider touching the defender while running, but it isn’t as simple as it sounds. With strong players and thrilling Kabaddi moves, we cannot forget the exceptional performance of raider Manjeet from Patna Pirates during PKL season 6.
Coming to the defender’s department, we should not forget about their Kabaddi moves that play a vital role in getting a trophy for the team. Ankle hold is one impactful approach that needs quick and agile toe movement at all times. With the practice of this move, the defender clutches the raider’s ankle and drags him back with the intention to keep him far from the half-line. Meanwhile, the other defenders can surround and obstruct the raider’s path entirely.
Defenders leverage this move from the corner points in order to grasp the raider strongly. This super move works really well while the raider aims to use the toe touch move. No doubt, that this is a super tricky move and needs to be executed very wisely. Ankle holds require the defender’s strength to hold on to the raider until the other defenders surround him.
With timing being the most crucial determinant, the defending team should be very careful while using this move. They should make sure that the half-line is actually quite far from the raider’s touch. When the raider is far from the half-line then dash is the best defensive weapon. Strength, agility, and the power to take quick and immediate steps are the most essential factors to knock out the raider when he finds it difficult to turn around.
