Asian Games: Indian kabaddi team sits on mat to protest referee's decision

Controversy struck the Asian Games men's kabaddi summit clash between India and Iran on Saturday with players sitting on the mat in protest against the referee's decision, leading to heated arguments between the rival sides here. In scenes rarely seen on a kabaddi mat, play was held up for nearly one hour in the final match between the arch-rivals. Iran had beaten India in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games final and the Pawan Sehrawat-led side exacted revenge eventually, winning Saturday's summit clash to regain the gold medal. The controversy happened with just one minute left in the match and both sides were tied 28-28. Sehrawat was the raider then. "When Pawan (Sehrawat) raided, he got self-out after stepping on to the lobby area. While chasing him, four Iranians also entered the lobby area," coach Kavitha Selaraj told PTI. The lobby areas are the strips on either side of the mat which are considered active only when contact has been made between the raider and a defender. As per t
