This animated series, an original intellectual property (IP) created by the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise in partnership with Burman Sports and Green Gold Animation, has transformed the star cricketers of the Mumbai Indians into animated superheroes with unique origin stories and powers.
The first season of Mighty Indians garnered more than 47.5 million views across multiple formats, making it one of the most-watched sports-entertainment crossover IPs in India.

Rajiv Chilaka, Founder and CEO of Green Gold Animation, finds the series creatively fulfilling. Shiv Burman, Founder of Burman Sports, believes Mighty Indians combines the power of sports heroes with the universal appeal of animation.
As the series has grown, so too has its commercial ecosystem. Mighty Indians has expanded beyond animation into a rich universe of toys, apparel, school supplies, publishing, and collectibles. Early merchandise prototypes have received enthusiastic responses, indicating strong market potential. Multiple discussions are underway with brands looking to connect with children and families.
The wide viewership and fan engagement suggest the series is resonating well with audiences, especially younger fans, by forging a novel connection between cricket heroes and superhero culture. By portraying cricketers as superheroes, the series contributes to enhancing the popularity of cricket and perceived stature of players off the field, merging sports fandom with animated entertainment.

Characters like Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and Trent Boult have been transformed into animated superheroes, each with a unique origin story, power, and purpose.
The impact of Mighty Indians extends beyond the animated series.
