All three of them had a great time experiencing kabaddi, Darren Sammy who was playing kabaddi for the first time said, “I have watched Kabaddi on television and wondered why they kept saying Kabaddi Kabaddi and today I finally know, I would love for Kabaddi to be played back home, because the game is so exciting and gives the player an adrenaline rush.”
