After an online poll, Kochi Tuskers Kerala was the name which was finalized for Team Kochi in the IPL season 4, 2011.

“The state animal of Kerala is the Asian Elephant, also known as the Indian Elephant. Therefore the appropriateness in selection of the Team Kochi IPL name, Kochi Tuskers Kerala by the fans all over India cannot be ignored. Elephants are the largest land animals alive today and their tusks are attractive, sharp and intimidating,” said Mukesh Patel, the director of Kochi Cricket Pvt Ltd.

The team was earlier named Indi Commandos but now it has been changed to Kochi Tuskers Kerala. Why Kochi and Kerela both names were included has an explanation from team’s co owner. “Half the fans wanted Kochi and the rest wanted Kerala, so we decided to have both,” said Vivek Venugopal,
