Hosts India came back strongly against Australia in their second match of the Kabaddi World Cup 2016 following their shock loss to South Korea in their first game of the competition this year. With three league matches to go, Anup Kumar and Co. have really got to bring their best show possible to make it to the knockouts now.
After Sunday's matches, India stay second in Group A with six points from two matches. South Korea, meanwhile, top the group with 10 points from two games. Bangladesh is slowly catching up as they have five points from one game so far.

That is the plan for all the games and we will not take anyone lightly," said Arjuna Award winner Anup Kumar ahead of the upcoming crucial match. "Bangladesh is also a good team and we will minimise our mistakes and try to win it," the U Mumba man added.
