Cricket in Odisha is administered by the Odisha Cricket Association, which fields the state team in national tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Players from the state typically progress through age-group cricket and the OCA's domestic structure before being selected for the senior side. Behera is among the cricketers who have featured in this system at the senior representative level.
Behera has appeared in domestic matches for Odisha in the BCCI's national competitions. As a state-level player, his career has been situated within India's tiered domestic cricket framework, which includes red-ball, List A, and Twenty20 formats.
As a domestic cricketer representing one of the country's eastern state teams, Behera contributes to the depth of Indian first-class cricket and the cricketing tradition of Odisha, a region whose senior team is centred at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
