I am really looking forward to answer interesting questions that will be coming up from GloFans."
Speaking on the unique initiative, well known sports entrepreneur and producer of Q20, Dinesh Pandey added: "We are introducing the third wave of sports programming in the world. What started with sports anchors has now moved into sports stars interacting amongst themselves. We have crafted a social platform for fans to interact directly with sports icons, perhaps for the first time in the world."

The show will be directed by acclaimed sports broadcast director Hemant Buch, a sports television industry veteran. Hemant Buch has worked on live broadcasting from 81 different cricket stadiums along with 10 ICC World Cup editions, in a career spanning three decades.
