The rich character assets and visual storytelling are translating to commercial partnerships across product categories such asâ¯toys, apparel, school supplies, publishing and collectibles. Early prototypes of merchandise have received an enthusiastic response, and formal brand collaborations are being explored.
Building on the momentum and widespread fan engagement from Season 1, the IP returns with richer storytelling, high-quality 3D animation, and deeper character arcs – all brought to life by Green Gold Animation, India’s leading animation studio and creators ofâ¯Chhota Bheem.
Created by Mumbai Indians in partnership withâ¯Burman Sports, theâ¯exclusive commercial and production rights holders, andâ¯Green Gold Animation,â¯Mighty Indiansâ¯transforms star cricketers Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and Trent Boult into a team of animated superheroes, each with a unique origin story, power, and purpose.
With overâ¯47.5 million viewsâ¯generated through 20+ episodes, promos, and short-form edits across formats,â¯Mighty Indiansâ¯has grown into one of the most-watched and talked-about crossover IPs in Indian sports entertainment.
To create an impact on-ground, 12-foot superhero statues of the Mighty Indians players were installed at Mumbai Airport Terminal 2 for the duration for IPL 2025, reaching overâ¯85,000 travellers daily.
What began as an animated series has embedded itself into cricket culture. From YouTube screens to towering airport installations to merchandise,â¯Mighty Indiansâ¯is no longer just content – it’s becoming part of how fans and families experience the spirit of cricket and storytelling in a new, more imaginative way.
A Mumbai Indians Spokesperson commented, “Mighty Indians is more than an animated series – it’s an extension of our philosophy to engage fans beyond the boundaries of the cricket field. With Season 2, we are expanding this universe through immersive 3D storytelling and richer stories. It reflects the spirit of the Mumbai Indians and brings it alive in a way that resonates with young audiences and families alike.”
“This has been one of the most creatively fulfilling projects we’ve ever worked on,” saidâ¯Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation. “We’ve built some of India’s most beloved characters, butâ¯Mighty Indiansâ¯gave us the chance to blend cricketing icons with mythic storytelling and create something that has both local heart and global potential.”
Shiv Burman, Founder of Burman Sports, added, “We used to watch cricket in a linear way – match days on television, and that was it. But today’s kids have countless options competing for their attention, and if we want cricket to stay relevant to them, we have to meet them where they are. Mighty Indians is our way of doing just that by combining the power of sports heroes with the universal appeal of animation. It’s a format that not only entertains but builds long-term emotional connection with the next generation of fans. We’re already working with licensing partners to create merchandise, and multiple discussions are underway with brands looking to connect with children and families by leveraging the might of Mumbai Indians through this IP.”
Mighty Indiansâ¯is no longer just a piece of content. It is a platform for cricket, for imagination, and for the next generation of Indian storytelling.
Because in this universe, anyone can be mighty.
