Team India has won the Kabaddi World Cup 2016 by defeating Iran. Ajay Thakur-inspired India beat Iran 38-29 to become world champions. 

India, who had defeated Iran in the previous two finals, were trailing 13-18 till half-time but put in a sterling show in the second half to romp home to victory.

India took a 21-20 lead with 11 minutes to go and then extended it to 24-21 with an 'All Out'.

Iran tried hard to get back into the game but the Indian defence juxtaposed with Thakur leading the raids, kept them at bay.
