Kabaddi statistics turn individual actions into a record that can be compared across matches and seasons. Raid points describe attacking output, tackle points describe defensive scoring, while labels such as Super 10 and High 5 identify notable single-match performances. The most useful way to read these numbers is to connect them to the player's role rather than treating every statistic as an isolated ranking.

Raid points
Raid points measure the points a player produces through raiding actions under the competition's statistical definitions. A high raid-point total generally indicates frequent and effective attacking involvement, but context still matters: the number of raids, match situation and role within the team can affect opportunity.
Tackle points
Tackle points record defensive scoring credited to a player. Defenders may have fewer opportunities than raiders because their involvement depends on when they are on court and which raider they face. A tackle-point total should therefore be read alongside matches, tackles attempted where available and the player's defensive role.
What is a Super 10?
In professional kabaddi coverage, a Super 10 is commonly used for a match in which a raider reaches at least 10 raid points. It is an achievement label rather than a separate scoring category. The underlying points still come from the individual scoring actions recorded during the match.
What is a High 5?
A High 5 is commonly used for a match in which a defender reaches at least five tackle points. Like a Super 10, it describes a performance threshold rather than a different kind of point. Official league statistics may use these labels to summarize player achievements.
Bonus points and other attacking measures
Bonus points are part of a raider's scoring record when the applicable conditions are met. Professional league statistics can also display categories such as super raids, do-or-die raids or other event-specific measures. Readers should check the league's statistical definitions before comparing labels across competitions.
Super tackles and defensive context
A super tackle is a named defensive situation in professional kabaddi, often associated with a defence operating with a small number of players. It is useful as a tactical statistic because it highlights successful defence under pressure. It should not be confused with the player's total tackle points.
Why totals need context
A player with more points may have played more matches or taken a larger share of raids. Similarly, a defender's output depends on the number of defensive situations available. Comparing players only by raw totals can therefore hide differences in role and opportunity.
How to read a player-stat page
Start with matches played, then identify the player's primary role. Look at raid or tackle points, achievement counts such as Super 10s or High 5s, and any available efficiency or success measures. Finally, compare the figures with the team context and season length.
Key takeaway
Player statistics are most useful when they answer a specific question: how much did the player contribute, in which phase, and under what opportunity? Achievement labels add context, but they do not replace the underlying numbers.
