The Kerala cricket team played its first first-class game against Madras in 1957. In its debut Ranji Trophy season, Kerala lost all of its four games including three by an innings.
The Kerala cricket team is yet to win any major tournament in Indian domestic cricket. In Ranji Trophy, the team enjoyed its best in late 2010s.
