One of the most exciting raiders in the league, Rahul Chaudhari has settled well into his role at the Tamil Thalaivas but is yet to be at his dominant best. The 'poster boy', however, did put up a good show during the Patna leg as he notched up 18 points from two matches.

The Thalaivas faced off against the Steelers in their first clash of the Patna leg but were under the pump very early in the game as they faced a nine-point deficit early into the second half.

However, Rahul Chaudhari took up the onus of bringing about quick points as he used his pace well on the mat and induced errors from the Steelers' defenders. In the end, his 14-point effort turned out to be the game-changer that handed the Thalaivas an unlikely 35-28 win.

In the next game against the U.P. Yoddha, Chaudhari was not at his fluent best but did pick up five points, and his composure helped the Thalaivas eke out a thrilling 28-28 tie.
