Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He made his ODI debut in 2005 against Sri Lanka and was given a good run that year. He also toured to the UAE to play against Pakistan the next year but was never preferred for national duty.
Having played for Andhra for quite a few years, Venugopal Rao shifted bases to Gujarat in 2012. Though he had a poor first season for the side, he batted very well in the 2013-14 season and was one of the top run-getters for the side.
He was with the Deccan Chargers from 2008 to 2010, before moving to Delhi Daredevils in 2011. Having been released by DD after the 2013 season, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad at the 2014 auctions, for whom he played a few matches in IPL-7.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Those who have seen him on the telly can say Venugopal Rao has done nothing to shatter the earth. But ask Matt Prior, Simon Jones, and Sajid Mahmood, and they will tell you 500 is not a safe target in the fourth innings of a four-day match when Venugopal is around. Two days before his 22nd birthday, he shot into national contention with an unbeaten 228 for South Zone to help them chase down England A's target of 501, the fourth-highest successful first-class chase. Venugopal had earlier been part of the Indian team that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2000. Prolific run-getting in domestic matches meant he was not far from national selection. Once into the national ODI team, Venugopal has not been quite at home amid the baseballesque hitting on flat subcontinent tracks. He has shown shades of the early Rahul Dravid and Robin Singh. His only half-century was a stodgy unbeaten 61 off 93 balls against Pakistan. With the team management open-minded about trying out a wide pool of talent, Venugopal is still very much in the reckoning despite an ordinary start to his international career. What's more, he has been captaining the A sides and Board Presidents' XIs.
