History

Odisha first competed at first-class level in the 1949–50 Ranji Trophy, when they lost to Bihar by 356 runs.[2] Their first victory came in 1952–53, when they defeated Assam by an innings.[3] They played only against other East Zone teams (Bihar, Assam and Bengal) until 1983–84, when they progressed to the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals for the first time.[4]

Odisha's best performance in the Ranji Trophy came in the 2000–01 season, when they made their only semi-final appearance till date. The match was drawn but Baroda won on first innings.[5]

The team's recent best performance in the Ranji Trophy came in the 2016–17 season and 2019–20 season, when they advanced to the quarter-final stage. They lost there to the eventual champions Gujarat and Bengal respectively, under the captaincy of Govinda Poddar in 2016-17 and Subhranshu Senapati 2019–20.[6]

Competitive record

At the completion of the 2022–23 season, Odisha had played 325 Ranji Trophy matches. They had won 74, lost 115 and drawn 136 matches with 1 match abandoned.[7]
