India and Iran have been rivals in kabaddi for a few years now. In one of the biggest upsets in Asian Games history, Iran beat India 27-18 in the 2018 Asian Games semi-final in Jakarta.

On Thursday, however, India beat Iran 33-28 in a closely-contested last league match of the Asian Kabaddi Championship in Busan, South Korea, on Thursday to set up a mouth-watering final clash against the same opponents today.
