After 13 years on the ATP Tour, Rungkat won his maiden ATP title at the 250 event 2020 Maharashtra Open in Pune, India in the Men's Doubles section. Partnered with André Göransson, Rungkat defeated fourth seed and his former partner Cheng-Peng Hsieh who competed with Denys Molchanov 3-6, 6-4, [10-8] in the first round to advance to the quarterfinal. They then surprised the French team of Benoît Paire and Antoine Hoang in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 before securing a spot in the final with a win over Romain Arneodo and Andre Begemann 6-4, 7-6(7–1).
