The exciting men’s kabaddi final between India and defending champions Iran turned into an embarrassment, thanks to a bunch of indecisive and inefficient officials.
With the match tantalisingly poised at 28-all and just one minute left for the final whistle, India skipper Pawan Sehrawat executed a raid, claiming four points. The problem, however, was that the officials weren’t sure which team to award the points to, even after reviewing videos of the incident numerous times.

After an hour of protest, India were awarded three points and Iran one. On resumption, Iran’s Alireza Mizaeian was tackled after which India’s Naveen Kumar picked up another point with a raid to ensure a 33-29 victory.
