History

Odisha first competed at first-class level in the 1949–50 Ranji Trophy, when they lost to Bihar by 356 runs.[3] Their first victory came in 1952–53, when they defeated Assam by an innings.[4] 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.[5]

At the completion of the 2017–18 season, Odisha had played 296 Ranji Trophy matches. They had won 64, lost 106 and drawn 126.[6]
