Cricket isn’t just about bat and ball anymore – it’s about bytes and bots too. As Google’s Gemini Nano Banana AI Studio garners buzz for enabling ultra-efficient, on-device generative content creation, a new frontier opens up where cricket’s legends could transform into creative technocrats.

With fans already using the platform to create 1/7 scale figurines, complete with PVC realism, acrylic bases, and anime-style packaging, one wonders – how would India’s cricketing giants look in this ongoing trend?

MS Dhoni

The former Indian Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni – MS Dhoni can be seen holding the iconic ODI World Cup trophy which he lifted in 2011 World Cup.

Virat Kohli

The former Indian Skipper and star Indian batter Virat Kohli can been celebrating his 51st ODI century against Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Kohli’s unbeaten century paved the way for Team India to win the game convincingly.

Rohit Sharma

The ODI Skipper Rohit Sharma can be seen holding the iconic T20 World Cup which India lifted in 2024 by defeating South Africa. India lifted the trophy after 17 years.

Gemini Nano Banana AI Studio: How to generate yours for free

1. Image Selection & Preprocessing

Choose a high-resolution image of the character (e.g., Dhoni, Kohli, or Rohit in action or celebration pose).
Remove background and clean up the image for silhouette clarity using image segmentation tools.
Align pose and camera angle for 3D modeling reference.

2. AI-Powered Pose Extraction & Base Mesh Generation

Use Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) portal to extract key pose, body proportion, and facial features from the image.
Generate a base 3D mesh using on-device AI, avoiding cloud processing for privacy and speed.
AI predicts limb positioning, clothing folds, bat positioning, etc., from 2D to 3D.

3. Brush Modeling & Detailing

Switch to Brush Modeling Mode inside the AI Studio.
On the computer screen: the modeling brush adds fine textures like:
- Clothing wrinkles
- Glove and bat grip details
- Face and hair texture
- Stadium dirt on shoes (optional realism)

4. Material & Surface Simulation

Apply PVC material presets from the Banana Material Library to simulate realistic shine and flexibility.
Transparent acrylic base is attached as a separate object, with lighting shaders to mimic reflection and refraction.

5. Scaling & Pose Locking

The figure is scaled precisely to 1/7 size using real-world units (about 9–11 inches for a human adult).
Final pose locked based on the player’s stance in the original photo.

6. Packaging Design (2D Flat Art)

Gemini Nano generates a 2D anime-style illustration of the pose for toy box printing.
Add player’s signature pose in comic-style or cel-shaded format.
Position art on all sides of the BANDAI-style box with high-saturation colors and action lines.

7. Final Rendering: Realistic Environment

Set up a virtual indoor computer desk environment:
- Figurine placed neatly in front of a screen showing its brush modeling in progress.
- Toy box to the side, standing vertically with artwork facing forward.
- Original figurine packaging placed behind, showing the original photograph.
- Proper lighting and ambient shadows added to emphasize PVC material and acrylic reflection.

8. Export & Display

Export scene as high-resolution render (or turn into physical 3D print STL if required).
Optional: Create timelapse video from modeling screen to show creation-to-display process.
