Viacom18 Sports head of content Siddharth Sharma said, "The content line-up reiterates our commitment to make sports easily accessible and expand the genre’s consumption among this audience."

"Each show is unique, and the narrative is customised to engage the viewers further and educate them about these fascinating stories," he added.

Woh Lamhe is a series that takes viewers through the stories behind some of the most iconic images that captured a seminal moment in sports history. It premiered on 17 August.

Another show, Shortlist, focuses on the most memorable sporting moments, such as comebacks, greatest debuts, sports dynasties, and so on, every Thursday.

In addition, on every Monday night, the show Sports Ka Sikander celebrates the careers of the greatest names in sports, a mix of athletes and coaches who have etched their names in history all time.

Whether it's India vs. Pakistan in cricket, Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal in tennis, or Ferrari vs. Mercedes in Formula One, the show has fans covered if they want to relive the excitement, heartbreak, and thrill of these rivalries.

The channel is also live-broadcasting the 131st edition of the Durand Cup. On 17 August, Jungle Rumble, a boxing night that featured Olympic Bronze medalist Vijender Singh’s winning comeback to the ring after a year, was also broadcast live on the channel.
