Kho kho is a traditional Indian sport that dates back vĩ đại ancient India.^[1][2] It is the second-most popular traditional tag game in the Indian subcontinent after kabaddi.^[3] Kho kho is played on a rectangular court with a central lane connecting two poles which are at either kết thúc of the court. During the game, nine players from the chasing team (attacking team) are on the field, with eight of them sitting (crouched) in the central lane, while three runners from the defending team run rẩy around the court and try vĩ đại avoid being touched.^[2] Each sitting player on the chasing team faces the opposite direction of their adjacent teammates.

At any time, one player on the chasing team (the 'active chaser'/'attacker') may run rẩy around the court vĩ đại attempt vĩ đại tag (touch) members of the defending team, with one point scored per tag, and each tagged defender required vĩ đại leave the field; however, the active chaser cannot cross the central lane vĩ đại access the other half of the field, and can not change direction once they start running toward either pole. The chasing team can get around these restrictions if the active chaser either switches roles with a sitting teammate (by touching them on the back while saying "Kho") who is facing the other half of the court and therefore has access vĩ đại it, or runs vĩ đại the area behind either pole and then switches direction/half. Each team has two turns vĩ đại score and two turns vĩ đại defend, with each turn lasting nine minutes. The team that scores the most points by the kết thúc of the game wins.^[4]

The sport is widely played across South Asia, and also has a strong presence in the regions outside South Asia, such as South Africa and England. It is played most often by school children in India and Pakistan and is a competitive game.^[5] The first league of its kind called Ultimate Kho Kho was unveiled in India in August 2022.^[6]

Etymology[edit]

The name comes from Marathi: खोखो (khō-khō),^[7] the word kho is an onomatopoeia of the sound invoked while playing the game.^[8]

Kho Kho's History[edit]

Kho-kho has been played since at least the fourth century BC.^[9] Certain aspects of kho-kho's gameplay may have been mentioned in the Mahabharata. In pre-modern times, it is believed that a version of kho-kho known as Rathera was played on chariots (rath meaning "chariot" in Hindi). The modern khuông of the game was invented in 1914, with its rules and formalised structure being given by Pune's Deccan Gymkhana club. Kho-kho was demonstrated at the 1936 Berlin Olympics alongside other traditional Indian games. It is now a medal sport in the South Asian Games, having been played in the năm nhâm thìn edition.^[4] Kho-kho was generally played on muddy surfaces in the past, but today is often professionally played on matted surfaces.^[10][11]

In July 2022, the player draft for Ultimate Kho Kho was completed, which is a six-team franchise-based Indian Kho Kho tournament. Its inaugural season ran from August 14 vĩ đại September 4, 2022.

The field is 27 by 16 metres (89 by 52 ft), with a distance of 24 metres (79 ft) between the two poles, and the central lane having a width of 30 centimetres (12 in). Each of the cross lanes (which pass through the sitting areas that the chasers sit in, and go from one side of the court vĩ đại the other) has a width of 35 centimetres (14 in), with adjacent cross lanes 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in) apart, and a separation of 2.55 metres (8 ft 4 in) between each pole and its adjacent cross lane. Each pole is 120 vĩ đại 125 centimetres (47 vĩ đại 49 in) high and 9 vĩ đại 10 centimetres (3.5 vĩ đại 3.9 in) in diameter. The poles are smooth and round, with no sharp edges. There are 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in)-long extensions of the court behind each of the poles known as "free zones", in which there are no restrictions on chasers' movements.^[4][13]

Gameplay[edit]

At the start of play, the active chaser starts off in one of the không lấy phí zones, and can run rẩy into either half of the court vĩ đại tag the three defenders. Once all three defenders have been tagged out or otherwise "dismissed", the next "batch" of three defenders comes onto the court.^[13]

The active chaser can switch roles with a sitting teammate by touching them on the back and shouting "kho"; this is known as the active chaser "giving a kho" vĩ đại the sitting teammate. For the kho vĩ đại be valid, it must be given before the active chaser has gone past the cross lane that the teammate is sitting within. Once a sitting chaser becomes active, they may only enter the half of the court which they were facing while they were sitting; additionally, once the newly active chaser steps vĩ đại the left or right of the cross lane they were sitting in (or turns in such a way that their shoulders face towards either pole), they must continue in that direction until they have reached the không lấy phí zone.^[13]

Violating any of these rules results in a "foul", in which case the active chaser can no longer attempt vĩ đại tag any defenders. In order vĩ đại clear the foul, the active chaser must move in the opposite direction of the one they were running in (i.e. away from the defenders they were chasing) until they have either given a kho vĩ đại a teammate, or reached the appropriate không lấy phí zone.^[13]

The chasing team scores points each time a defender is ruled "out" (dismissed), which happens either when a chaser tags a defender without breaking any rules, when a defender steps out of the court (with no part of the toàn thân remaining grounded within), or when a defender is late vĩ đại enter the court as part of a new batch after the dismissal of the previous batch.^[13][14]

Variations[edit]

In one variation of kho-kho, a team is no longer allowed vĩ đại chase once it has tagged all the players on the other team. The team that tags all of its opponents in the shortest amount of time wins.^[15]
