Farideh ZarifDosut, Iranian Captain of national kabaddi team after the championship in Jakarta said:

Farideh Zarif Dosut

We had come here for the championship and ending the Indian's domination over kabaddi. In the final moments I lost one point, but i was sure that we defeated the opponent. The Indians were afraid because they lost to our men's team in the semi-final of men's game, so the audience came to the hall and encouraged their team very hard, but these encouragements did not affect us. I'm the most experienced player in the national team and I have been in the Asian Games for three periods. These things are normal to me.

She also said about the coach:

"Shayla" is a good coach. She taught us Indian's techniques and tactics so we can use the opportunities in the right moment.

The Indian coach of Iran national Kabaddi team says:

Iranian kabaddi national team coach 

This champion was very special for me, especially for the whole of Iran. Because it was too long for the Iranian team to ask me for a gold medal. I thank the federation and the authorities for patience after the Asian championships. Of course, I'm Indian and I love India, but I think I love Kabaddi in the first place. When I'm with Iran, I need to lead the team well and support my players.

Iranian girls are very hard-working and highly fitness-oriented. That is why in the seven months that we were working on, Iranian players made great progress. We did not need to work a lot physically, and we worked on tactics more and we succeeded. 

Kabaddi is a traditional game, played in Iran, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan more. if you want to know more information you can check the Wikipedia.
