It should be a lot of fun once again as we bring you the concluding night of the Kabaddi World Cup. It is the final and it will be India and Iran battling it out. One has to say that India are the team to beat. They are in fine form and will be looking to continue their style of play. The way they have played in this tournament has been nothing short of spectacular and it will be much the same if we are to predict.
Iran cannot be discounted, not at all. They are a gutsy outfit and will look to throw as many punches as they can. India are really back in form so to speak. They are not just winning but also playing the sort of kabaddi that is winning many hearts.
They have shown a consistent panache for dominance and are looking at continuing on that streak one would imagine. Iran make no mistake are a gutsy team. Having said that, it is a difference of class as far as these two teams are concerned. It should not bother anyone if India play even 80 per cent of the match they are capable of showcasing.

That in itself should be good enough as India are so far ahead of all their opponents as we have come to know. Anup Kumar is a brilliant captain who has time and again shown a sense of occasion, raising his game when it really counts.
He has also been able to inspire his team on a consistent basis. That will at the end of the day make a huge difference as far as the results are concerned. For India, it is not just the winning that counts. It is also how they win. They are looking at some dominant performances in this World Cup.
They have been able to show their fans that they can turn on their best game when the crunch moments come. The great thing about the World Cup has been how every match has a sense of importance attached to it.
