Great work. Can Dawn please print the names of the players at least. Sports other than Cricket need to be badly promoted in Pakistan.

Congrats Pakistan.
In this game you have to keep saying the word 'kabbadi' and go over to the other teams side and touch one or more players and comeback to your side. But if they catch and hold you and you are out of breath and stop saying 'kabbadi', then you are out. If you touch one or two players and run to your side, then those players are out of the game.
