The Indian men’s kabaddi team clinched its seventh successive gold medal at the Asian Games after coming from behind to beat a spirited Iran 27—25 in the summit clash here today.
The Indian team, which has been winning gold ever since the sport was introduced on the Asiad roster in 1990, was given a massive scare by Iran, who had finished runners—up in the 2010 edition as well.
The Iranians took a massive 10—point lead in the first 20 minutes before the Indians got their act together to nullify the deficit and edge past in the closing few minutes of the match.
In fact, the Indians managed to take a lead only in the 37th minute of the match.
