The name "Thampuran" is a title traditionally associated with members of royal families in Kerala, particularly the Kochi (Cochin) and Travancore royal houses. Several cricketers bearing the Thampuran name have represented Kerala-based teams in Indian domestic cricket, especially in the early decades of organised first-class competition in the region.
Kerala's representation in Indian domestic cricket has been organised primarily through the Kerala Cricket Association, which is affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Kerala's senior side competes in the Ranji Trophy, the principal first-class tournament in India, which began in 1934. In its early years, the Madras Presidency and later the southern states fielded teams that drew on players from princely families and college cricket, with the Thampuran lineage producing several notable participants.
Kochunny Thampuran is preserved in cricket records as part of the cohort of Indian domestic cricketers catalogued in reference databases. His inclusion reflects the broader pattern of contributions to Indian cricket from Kerala's royal and aristocratic families during the formative years of the Indian first-class circuit.
