The official decision was in India’s favour over Iran in the Asian Games 2023

Notably, this created a huge protest from the Indian side, including players and officials, as they began arguing with the field umpires for the one point given to them. However, after some time, Team India was awarded four points for the four defenders who put Pawan out during the play. This created a massive protest from the Iranian side over the official decision.

Meanwhile, the official decision was in India’s favour, as they were given four points, whereas Iran also got one point for attempting Pawan Sehrawat in the last-minute raid. Earlier, the score was 29-29, but the last four points helped Team India win the match against Iran in the Asian Games 2022.

“If a defender or defenders who has/have touched the ground outside the boundary (as per rule 5), hold a raider, the raider will be declared NOT OUT. The defender or defenders who have gone out of bounds only will be declared out.” this is what the rules from the International Kabaddi rulebook say.
