By uncovering unseen aspects of the squad combined with the compelling stories that bind them to the vibrant city, the show promises to give viewers something that they have never seen before. The untitled series will spend time with the team, both, on and off the field. It will travel with them on the road and at home, while also delving deep into the cricketing values that make Mumbai Indians the most followed team. The show is set to conclude at the IPL 2018 final.
