NEW DELHI: During the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, another sport, close to Indian hearts, will be played at a walking distance. On 28 December, fans will be able to amble across to the John Cain Arena, part of the Melbourne Park - which hosts tennis' Australian Open Grand Slam - and watch high intensity kabaddi.
For the first-time, an exhibition kabaddi game will take place on foreign shores after Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) accepted an invitation from Visit Victoria to take the game to Melbourne.
