X is played since ancient times. It will not be a
mistake to say that X was a recognized sport in the
ancient times even earlier to the oldest
mythological writings of classics - Mahabharata.
The game of chase was then also regarded as
legend, as it used in phraseology as "putting X to
someone`s active chase meaning putting an
effective block and stopping the progress". The first
championship was held in Vijayawada(AP).Identify
the sport also known as RATHERA
