Govinda Bhaktaranjan Poddar (born 9 September 1991) is an Indian cricketer. Poddar is a right-handed batsman who also bowls right-arm off break. He has played first-class and List A cricket for Odisha. He has scored three hundreds in the current season against Vidharba, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Govinda Poddar is one of those rare cricketers to have scored a hundred on his first class debut. It happened against Baroda in November 2010. Since then he has been a regular in the Odisha Ranji Trophy side. This man from Rourkela was handed over the captaincy for the shorter formats at the start of 2016 and then took over captaincy for the 2016-17 Ranji season. Odisha had a dream run as they made it to the quarter-finals of the tourney and eventually lost to Gujarat.[1]

He was the leading run-scorer for Odisha in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 359 runs in six matches.[2]
