STATE
By Durga Prasad September 21, 2026
Captain: Biplab Samantaray Kataka Panthers are the defending champions of the league and represent the ancient city of Cuttack, one of Odisha’s most historic cricketing hubs. The squad blends senior campaigners with young talent and enters the 2026 season as favourites under new leadership.
Captain: Suryakant Pradhan Bhubaneswar Tigers carry the flag of the state capital and are known for their aggressive style of play. The Tigers opened the inaugural season and remain one of the most followed franchises in the league.
Captain: Aashirwad Swain Sambalpur Warriors were the runners-up in Season 1, going all the way to the final before losing narrowly to Cuttack. Their fighting brand of cricket makes them a strong contender in 2026.
Captain: Sandeep Pattnaik Puri Titans represent the coastal temple town and are built around a mix of opening firepower and a settled bowling attack. They will be looking for a stronger campaign this season.
Captain: Subhranshu Senapati Rourkela Superstars, previously known as Rourkela Steelers, bring in players from the industrial belt of western Odisha. Led by one of the state’s most seasoned batters, they are known for a batting-heavy approach.
Captain: Govinda Poddar Keonjhar Miners represent the mineral-rich northern district and give a platform to plenty of young cricketers from smaller towns. They rely on grit and all-round balance to punch above their weight.
