A few days after Virat Kohli teamed up with Nazara Games and Cornerstone Sport to launch Virat Cricket Challenge mobile game, his teammate Rohit Sharma has come up with a new environmental superhero team called, ‘Hyper Tygers’ in collaboration with Graphic India, UK based ISM Komix and Cornerstone Sport.

“Hyper Tygers is an action-packed adventure around a futuristic game of cricket unlike anything we have today. The story also serves as a larger allegory to protect our planet and its endangered wildlife, which is one of the great global challenges of our time,” Rohit said, reported PTI.

The digital comic will be available through Rohit’s Facebook page and the Graphic POP! mobile app for free on all devices from February 1 next year.

“I’ve been a big fan of the work Graphic India has been doing in the country to create new Indian superheroes. The idea to collaborate with them to launch India’s first cricket based superhero comic made perfect sense,” added Rohit.

Hyper Tygers is a futuristic game set in the year 2077 in India, telling the story of a small Indian rural community and their cricket team through the hero, Green Tyger.

The hero Green Tyger is a masked character with super powers addressing the environmental problems that the world faces.

“Cricket is a sport that is beloved by billions around the world and its time we finally combined the love of that game with the fun of superheroes. Hyper Tygers will excite global audiences with epic adventures, filled with heroic characters and powerful messages to save our planet and inspire change,” Graphic India’s Co-Founder and CEO, Sharad Devarajan said in a statement, reported PTI.

“Rohit Sharma is the perfect partner to help us bring this futuristic cricket world to India and the hundreds of millions of cricket fans in the country,” he added.
