What is Defender (anti) in Kabaddi?

Any of the players in the half being raided, traditionally called antis or anti-raiders. Defenders try to avoid being touched and to tackle the raider before they escape across the mid line. Specialist defenders play as corners or covers in the defensive chain.

Example: The raider isolated the weakest defender on the left corner and attacked him three raids in a row.
