Cricket Meets Gaming and Anime in a Mega Crossover
In a series of unexpected but super exciting announcements, the IPL team Mumbai Indians have formed big partnerships with two powerhouse names - BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and Pokemon!
The BGMI x Mumbai Indians Partnership
While the details are still under wraps, Mumbai Indians has officially signed Krafton India's BGMI as a partner. This collaboration could potentially bring in-game items and events themed around the cricket team to the popular battle royale mobile game.
BGMI has previously worked with Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya, introducing a "Hardik Crate" in October 2023. This crate featured cricket-themed in-game goodies like mini/popup banners, outfits with Pandya's name and jersey number, and a World Cup Exchange Centre for reward tasks.
The Pokemon x Mumbai Indians Alliance
Other than BGMI, Mumbai Indians announced a mega partnership with the global anime and gaming giant, Pokemon.
While the details are still under wraps, fans are already imagining Pikachu being part of the opening celebrations and other potential crossover content.
This collaboration is sure to help increase the fan base of both franchises, as cricket enthusiasts get introduced to the world of Pokemon, and anime fans get to experience the thrill of the IPL.
The Road Ahead
With the IPL 2024 season just kick-off on March 22nd, we can expect to hear more about these epic collaborations in the coming weeks.
Buckle up, folks, because the worlds of cricket, gaming, and anime are about to collide in the most epic way imaginable!
