What is the term used for the line that a raider must cross to score points in Kabaddi?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Baulk line.
In Kabaddi, the baulk line is the line that a raider must cross in the opponent’s half to make the raid valid and score points by tagging defenders. If the raider fails to cross the baulk line with at least one foot before returning to their side, no points are awarded. Crossing this line signifies an active raid, and the raider tries to tag opponents and return safely. The bonus line, on the other hand, offers additional points under specific conditions but is not mandatory for scoring a basic raid point.
Other options:
-
Half line: Divides the court into two halves, marking the start of the raid.
-
Bonus line: Provides extra points but only if conditions are met.
-
Centre line: The middle line of the court; raiders begin the raid from here.
