Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday congratulated the Indian team for winning the Kabaddi World Cup after defeating Iran.

"Congratulations to the Indian team for winning the Kabaddi World Cup. The team showed exceptional skills, grit and determination. Well done!," Modi tweeted.

India fought off a tough challenge from Iran to win their third successive Kabaddi World Cup.

In perhaps the most exciting match of this World Cup, the Indians overturned a first-half deficit with a superb second-half performance to win 38-29.
