Rahul started his international career debuting against Australia in the 2014-15 Test series at Melbourne. In his second Test match at Sydney, he scored 110, his maiden Test century.
Rahul made his debut in the 2010-11 season, playing first-class cricket for Karnataka. He made his debut in Indian Premier League in 2014, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
He became the first triple-centurion for Karnataka in a first class match on 30 January 2015, playing against Uttar Pradesh and scoring 337 in M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. His knock of 337 came off 448 balls and included 47 fours and 4 sixes.

He was a part of 15-man squad for the tour of Bangladesh in June 2015 but later withdrew due to dengue fever. He then made a comeback into the Test team in the first Test of the Sri Lankan tour after Murali Vijay was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. But he did not show any progress in the first match where he got out early in both innings for less than 10 runs. In the second match of the series, Shikhar Dhawan lost his place due to injury and ruled out from the rest of the tour. So, Rahul got a chance to show his talents once again where he made his second Test century of 108 runs from 190 balls including 14 fours and 1 six.
