What is Bonus point in Kabaddi?

The single point scored by crossing the bonus line against a defence of six or more players. It counts even if the raider is subsequently tackled on the same raid, but it never revives an out teammate. Bonus points are a low-risk way for raiders to beat packed defences and break empty-raid pressure.

Example: Trailing by one with seconds left, the raider went for the bonus point rather than risk a touch.
