Rahul Chaudhari had made his mark in the opening season of the Pro Kabaddi League when he scored 161 points for the Telugu Titans and was only the second player in the league to cross the 150 points, the other being then U Mumba skipper Anup Kumar.

Chaudhari has continuously featured in the top five positions in the total points tally for the past five seasons and became one of the most popular Kabaddi players in the country. His entire tally of points after the match against Bengaluru Bulls stands at 803 points in 91 matches with a raid point average of 8.3 per match. He has affected 22 Super Raids and notched up 33 Super 10s so far in his PKL career.
