Why?
The correct answer is Dhopkhel . Key Points Kabaddi is a team sport that is played between two teams with each team comprising 7 players in which a player from one team (referred to as a raider) goes to the opposition's court and touches the opposition players and has to return to their court. The opposition or called the defence has to hold off the raider and get them out of the court and then the raider is declared out. Dhopkhel is a traditional season game from Assam that is played during the Bihu festival and is played between two teams with each team of 11 players and the field is bounded by four flags. In this game, a rubber ball is thrown into the air by one of the teams and the ball has to be taken by the opposition and if not then that team does not get a chance to throw. This game is similar to the Kabaddi game. Hence option 4 is correct. Additional Information Field Hockey is a standard Hockey sport that consists of 10 players and a Goalkeeper. Both teams have to hit the ball towards the opponent's court with a hockey stick and the goalkeeper has to hold the ball. Cricket is a team sport that originated in the UK.
