This project is a custom poker deck designed for one of the world’s most important cricket team: the Mumbai Indians.
The deck features 24 male players (assigned to A, K, J, 10, 9, and 8) and 4 female players represented as Queens, plus two Jokers.
Unlike the 2024 edition, this new deck pays homage to the city of Mumbai and its extraordinary cultural richness. Each card connects the featured player with an iconic element of the metropolis—ranging from historic monuments and architectural landmarks to symbols of everyday life such as the yellow-black taxi, the tuktuk, or the traditional ice-gola cart.
The back design and the tuck box bring all these icons together in a complex, mandala-inspired composition, celebrating the vibrant spirit, energy, and visual identity of Mumbai.
