Odisha first competed at first-class level in the 1949–50 Ranji Trophy, when they lost to Bihar by 356 runs.

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 was managing to advance to the quarter-final stage in both the 2016–17 and 2019–20 seasons. 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]
