Netflix has announced its first Indian documentary Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians, which is scheduled to premiere worldwide on 1 March. According to a press release, the eight part docu-series follows the Mumbai Indians team on the road through the course of the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, in which they sought to defend their 2017 IPL crown.

Produced by Condé Nast Entertainment, Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians documents the unseen action, both on and off the field, starting with the 2018 IPL auction, when the entire team was re-organised, and closes with the end of their IPL campaign.
