Mumbai Indians extend Mighty Indians IP with 3D webisodes and more

Mumbai, Aug 12 (UNI) Mumbai Indians today announced the launch of Season 2 of Mighty Indians with an all-new slate of 20+ 3D webisodes, expanding the animated superhero universe built around the franchise’s iconic players.
The rich character assets and visual storytelling are translating to commercial partnerships across product categories such as  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 of Chhota Bheem.
Created by Mumbai Indians in partnership with Burman Sports, the exclusive commercial and production rights holders, and Green Gold Animation, Mighty Indians 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 over 47.5 million views generated through 20+ episodes, promos, and short-form edits across formats, Mighty Indians 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 over 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, Mighty Indians 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.” UNI RKM SSP
