What is Tackle point in Kabaddi?

The point awarded to the defending team for stopping a raider — holding or pinning them until the raid ends or forcing them out of bounds. A tackle point puts the raider out and revives one out defender. With three or fewer defenders on the mat, a successful tackle earns two points as a super tackle.

Example: The captain's ankle hold earned the tackle point that levelled the scores.
