The tournament is finally back after the absence of the women's tournament last year in Ayodhya, where the Senior Nationals was conducted for the Men only.  The women kabaddi players would be more than ready this time around. Last year's cancellation won't affect their performances this time around, the zeal to be better and motivation to win for their home states will propel all the athletes to give out their best and be at the top. 

The past Nationals have seen Railways dominate all over the other states. They have won 6 out of the 7 championships.

Himachal Pradesh has been the main rival for the Indian Railways in the past 3 championships. Both have shared the finals stage one after the other and, Himachal would look to dethrone them again this time around.  Haryana has always been in the top 3 places before the resurgence of Himachal Pradesh. They came in 2nd for 4 years straight against Railways from 2012 - 2016, before Himachal took over their mantle.
