India’s campaign didn’t get off to an ideal start as they were beaten 34-32 by Korea.

India’s Kabaddi World Cup 2016 campaign didn’t get off to an ideal start as they were stunned by Korea 34-32 in the first match of the competition in Ahmedabad on Friday. India were in the lead for most of the contest but Korea produced a clinical performance towards the fag end, and wiped off the deficit before taking lead over defending champions India. The Korean unit was ecstatic after the win and thanked the crowd after registering an emphatic win. India did most of the things right in the match but failed to hold on the three-point lead in the final three minutes.
