However, one move in particular – The Running Hand Touch - has been his go-to for a major part of his career so far. On Pro Kabaddi’s weekly Instagram live chat series titled ‘Beyond The Mat’, the raider explained how he mastered the art of his favourite move.
A happenstance
It was Mahipal, who eventually inspired Chaudhari to try his hand at raiding.
While Rahul Chaudhari did make the team that would participate in tournaments, he would often sit among the substitutes. However, that is what ended up changing the course of his kabaddi career.
Versatility is key, even in the PKL
While he is among the best at the Running Hand Touch, Rahul Chaudhari believes being a student of the sport and adding to one’s repertoire of skills is of utmost importance for a raider to consistently find success.

Rahul Chaudhari’s dedication helped him transition from defence to offence and become one of the finest raiders in the history of the sport and in the PKL. And while he has already embarked on an incredible journey with some impressive performances in the PKL, the Showman is still working on improving his skillset to keep performing at the highest level.
