Over the course of his career, Rahul has been a prominent figure in all 10 seasons of the PKL, representing four different teams: Telugu Titans (Seasons 1 to 6), Tamil Thalaivas (Season 7), Puneri Paltan (Season 8), and Jaipur Pink Panthers (Seasons 9 & 10). His most significant achievement came during the ninth season when he secured his first PKL title with Jaipur Pink Panthers.
Overall, Rahul Chaudhari has played 172 matches in the PKL, accumulating an impressive 1,147 raid points from 2,458 raids, with a raid success rate of 46.66%. Throughout his career, he has also recorded 47 Super-10s and 26 super raids, solidifying his reputation as one of the top raiders in the history of the PKL.
Additionally, Chaudhari contributed to the defense with 67 tackle points, including six Super Tackles. His individual brilliance was highlighted in Season 4 when he earned the title of the Best Raider.
