Yalaka Venugopal Rao pronunciation (born February 26, 1982 in, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh) is an Indian cricketer.
Venugopal Rao who plays domestically for Andhra Pradesh has impressed Indian selectors with a domestic average of over 50 and one day average of around 40. This included one innings in the Ranji Trophy for South Zone where he scored 223 against a touring England A team which included Test bowlers such as Simon Jones and Andrew Flintoff.
He consequently earned a call up to the national side for the 2005 Indian Oil Cup in July 2005, after captain Sourav Ganguly was suspended. He made sporadic appearances throughout the Indian 2005/06 season, mostly when other players were being rested under a rotation policy. He was unable to establish a position in the team, and has not played in ODIs since April 2006.
