Lagori (sometimes written Lagoori) (aka Kannada: ಲಗೋರಿ) is a team sport originally from the Indian subcontinent. Two teams share a ground (no limit) and one of the team’s member throw ball at a pile of stone and disassemble them. Now the opponent should hit as many as possible other team members with the ball while they try to arrange stone pile back. If the ball touches the member he is out and team should continue without him. But a team member can always safeguard himself by touching the opposite team member before ball hits him.
