Kabaddi made its debut at the Asian Games in Beijing in 1990, with India winning the gold medal in the inaugural edition. Indian kabaddi has been a dominant force over the years, with the men's team winning seven out of eight gold medals and the women's team winning two out of three gold medals since 2010. However, at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, both Indian teams were defeated by Iran in a surprising turn of events.

The Indian men's kabaddi team is now preparing for a new beginning at the Asian Games 2023. The team is entirely new, with no members from the previous edition. Despite this, India have one of the world's best raiding units, as evidenced by their recent victory at the Asian Kabaddi Championship in Busan.

Captain Pawan Sehrawat will lead the raiding lines for India's men's kabaddi team as they begin their campaign against Bangladesh. The latter comes into this match with confidence after a resounding 52-17 victory over Japan. The Bangladeshi men's kabaddi team, led by veteran Md Tuhin Talukder, is aiming for a medal at the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games.

This match between India and Bangladesh promises to be exciting, with both teams eager to make a name for themselves in the prestigious tournament. The Indian team will be looking to reclaim their kabaddi supremacy, while Bangladesh will be hoping to build on their early success and secure a medal.

Kabaddi enthusiasts and fans from both countries will be watching these two teams compete on the mat with bated breath. This match is sure to be one of the highlights of the Asian Games 2023, with a rich history in the sport and a hunger for victory.
