Across 24 appearances, Kharaishvili's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive workload — averaging close to six tackles per match and peaking at 18 in a single game, which points to a prop relied upon heavily to hold the gain line rather than carry over it. His carrying numbers are modest in both volume and metres gained, consistent with a front-rower deployed in a tight, set-piece-anchored role where defensive solidity takes clear priority. The sheer volume of tackling across nearly a thousand minutes of action underlines his value as a high-availability, defence-first operator at the coalface.
