MUMBAI: Indian sports anchor Gaurav Kapur, also known as the ‘face of the IPL’, has announced ‘India Plays’, a talk show which will bring forth real-life stories from the field of sports, IANS reports.
This will be Kapur’s second show after ‘Breakfast of Champions’, which was broadcasted on Youtube with interviews of some of the top sporting personalities in the country. India Plays will go live on 15 October on Kapur’s Youtube channel which has been named after his company, Oaktree Creative Solutions.
“‘India Plays’ is a passion project for me. We complain about lack of fandom for multiple sports, but fans come when they have context. And context comes with stories.
“We decided to turn the dial back and tell the stories. Stories of unsung heroes, upcoming champions and people who are doing extraordinary things in and around Indian sport.
“People who make no fuss, no excuses, just go out and play. And we are so excited to bring these stories in bite-sized episodes to our viewers.” Kapur was quoted as saying to IANS.
He claims that the Oaktree team has researched for almost 18 months to find incredible stories for the show. Each episode will feature once a week every Monday.
