In 2010, women’s kabaddi made its debut at the Asian Games—and Team India scripted history by winning the inaugural gold. With a strong blend of agility and strategy, they defeated Thailand in the final, setting the tone for future editions and establishing India’s supremacy in the sport.

Repeat Glory – 2014 Asian Games (Incheon, South Korea)

Building on their success, the Indian women’s team retained the gold at the 2014 Games. Once again, they faced Thailand in the final and delivered a commanding performance. The victory reaffirmed India’s dominance and the team’s consistency on the international stage.

Silver Finish – 2018 Asian Games (Jakarta, Indonesia)

In a surprising turn of events, India’s golden streak was halted in 2018, as Iran edged past them in a tense final. Despite their valiant effort, India had to settle for silver. It was the first time the team had not secured gold, but their performance remained commendable.
