The Pro Kabaddi Playfield Mat

The kabaddi matches are played on mat surfaces and this mat has become kabaddi's preferred playing surface globally. All international and national events are held using it while state and district-level competitions in India are following suit as well.

The move received criticism within some circles of kabaddi as many feared it would go down hockey's path of decline. Nonetheless, players who experienced this transition felt that the mat helped strengthen kabaddi in India as much as it helped gain acceptance worldwide.

Dealing with Mat Injuries

Kabaddi has undergone many technical changes over the years, which also includes the transition of the pro kabaddi league venue from mud to the mat. While this change has resulted in fewer injuries for players, it has also made them more prone to serious joint and muscle injuries due to the increased friction and faster pace of the game on the new surface. As former kabaddi player Rakesh Kumar noted, maintaining a high level of fitness is crucial to avoid injuries on the mat.
