India’s number one opponent in Asian Games Women’s Kabaddi is now in India. Iran’s women’s team, which won the gold by defeating India in the 2018 Asian Games final, is preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games at the opponent’s stadium. The Iranian team arrived in Mumbai earlier this month and has completed 9 practice matches here so far. One of them was against the rival Indian women’s team.

Apart from being the main rivals in Asia, Iran also has another connection with India in women’s kabaddi. Shailaja Jain, a native of Maharashtra, has been the head coach of the Iran team for the past 7 years. It was Shailaja who led Iran to a historic gold medal at the Jakarta Asian Games 5 years ago. But the Iranian teammates admit that it will be tough to retain the gold this time. Because the team stopped training due to covid and could not participate in any international matches in the last 3 years. The Iranian team flew to India months before the Asian Games in search of a solution to that lack of experience.
