Mumbai Indians Continue Collaboration with Mighty Indians for 3D Web Episodes and Additional Content
In a significant move, Mumbai Indians, one of the most popular cricket franchises in India, has launched Season 2 of their animated series, Mighty Indians. The new season features over 20 3D webisodes, promising to further develop the storyline and characters within this superhero universe [1][4][5].
The Mighty Indians animated series, produced by Green Gold Animation, India's leading animation studio, has already generated over 47.5 million views across various formats. The series is based on the franchise's iconic players, transforming them into animated superheroes with unique origin stories, powers, and purposes [6].
The characters include Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and Trent Boult. Each character is a reflection of the cricketing heroes they represent, making the series a unique blend of cricket, imagination, and Indian storytelling [2].
The expansion into multiple 3D webisodes suggests a likely move toward increased commercial tie-ins to capitalise on the superhero universe's popularity. While specific details about commercial partnerships and merchandise are not yet available, such expansions typically coincide with new merchandising and brand collaborations to leverage the IP's growing fanbase [3].
Shiv Burman, Founder of Burman Sports, believes Mighty Indians combines the power of sports heroes with the universal appeal of animation. He aims to make cricket relevant to today's kids by meeting them where they are with Mighty Indians [7].
The Mumbai Indians spokesperson stated that Mighty Indians extends beyond an animated series, engaging fans beyond the cricket field. In line with this, 12-foot superhero statues of the Mighty Indians players were installed at Mumbai Airport Terminal 2 during IPL 2025, reaching over 85,000 travellers daily [8].
Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, found the Mighty Indians project creatively fulfilling. He believes that Mighty Indians offers the chance to blend cricketing icons with mythic storytelling, making it more than just a piece of content, but a platform [9].
As the Mighty Indians animated superhero universe continues to expand, fans can look forward to richer storytelling, high-quality 3D animation, and deeper character arcs in Season 2. Formal brand collaborations for merchandise are being explored, and more details are expected to be announced soon.
