I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indian state' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cricketing format has transformed' is the wordplay.
'cricketing format' becomes 'ODI' (one day international).
'transformed' indicates an anagram.
'has' anagrammed gives 'sha'.
'odi'+'sha'='ODISHA'
