What is Thigh hold in Kabaddi?

A tackle in which the defender grips the raider's thigh, typically as the raider turns to escape, using the leverage to drag them down. It is the signature move of cover defenders attacking from the middle of the chain.

Example: The cover read the dubki early and finished the raid with a thigh hold.
