Professional career

Rahul's professional journey began with a significant milestone when he won the Junior National Kabaddi Championship, representing the Sports Authority of India (SAI). His stellar performance in the championship earned him a spot in the Pro Kabaddi League with U Mumba in Season 8.

While Rahul was part of U Mumba in Seasons 8 and 9, he didn't get many opportunities to showcase his skills. Following these seasons, he was released by the team. However, his talent did not go unnoticed. During the PKL Season 10 auction, Haryana Steelers acquired Rahul for ₹40.2 lakhs, marking a turning point in his career.

Rahul's performance in Season 10 was nothing short of exceptional, and his consistent defensive displays led Haryana Steelers to retain him for PKL Season 11. His ability to deliver under pressure and his defensive acumen have made him an invaluable asset to the team.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In PKL Season 11, Rahul continued his impressive form, once again scoring 73 tackle points. Serving as the vice-captain of the Haryana Steelers, he led his team to victory in the finals, cementing his legacy as one of the most impactful players in the tournament.

Rahul is also a Junior National Kabaddi Champion, having won the champ^[2]ionship with the Sports Authority of India (SAI) team, showcasing his prowess even at a young age.^[1]^[3]^[4]

Playing style

Rahul Sethpal is known for his calm and composed demeanor on the field. He is down-to-earth, respectful to everyone, and thrives in high-pressure situations, especially during super tackles.
