Actor Sanjay Dutt has entered the world of creator-driven sports entertainment with the acquisition of The Glenwalk Lions team at the All Stars Ball Tennis Cricket League (ASTCL) Season 2, alongside entrepreneur Mokksh Sani—Founder of Living Liquidz and Cartel Bros—and his brother Manish Sani. The move marks the trio’s strategic expansion into the fast-growing space of tennis ball cricket, blending lifestyle, community-building, and high-energy sports entertainment.
ASTCL Season 2 is scheduled to be held from February 9 to February 14, 2026, at the Wings Sports Centre, Bandra (W), Mumbai, and will be streamed on the Sony Sports Network. Curated by GS Sports, the league carries the theme “Bachpan Ka Khel Karega Entertain”, aiming to combine the nostalgia of childhood cricket with the glamour of Bollywood and the influence of content creators.
Positioned as more than just a cricket tournament, ASTCL continues to push the boundaries of the creator economy by turning tennis ball cricket into a premium entertainment property. The season will feature 10 teams competing in a league-cum-knockout format, with the top two qualifying teams advancing to the semifinals, promising a high-octane experience for audiences both at the venue and online.
The Glenwalk Lions, captained by actor Aamir Ali, Surya Sharma and Vikas Jain, will kick off their campaign on February 9, facing Delhi Dragons, a match already expected to set the tone for an action-packed season. The league’s growing popularity has been further fueled by its star-heavy roster, featuring leading Bollywood and television personalities such as Arjun Bijlani, Karanvir Bohra, Rohit Roy, Prince Narula, Karan Wahi, Karanveer Mehra and Aly Goni, among several other well-known faces.
Speaking on the association, Mokksh Sani said, “ASTCL perfectly captures the energy of today’s creator-first world. Investing in The Glenwalk Lions felt like a natural extension of our belief in platforms that bring people together with purpose. The fact that a portion of the proceeds supports charity makes this a genuinely meaningful venture for all of us.”
He further added, “We see ASTCL as a natural and strategic extension of our brand philosophy at the intersection of lifestyle and youth culture. This league captures the dynamic energy of modern entertainment. Owning The Glenwalk Lions allows us to leverage that synergy while simultaneously contributing to a charitable cause, adding significant purpose and depth to our involvement.”
Echoing the sentiment, Sanjay Dutt shared, “My attraction to ASTCL went far beyond the boundary ropes; it was the league’s heart that truly resonated with me. We are using the massive synergy of sport and cinema to drive real-world impact. Leading The Glenwalk Lions isn’t just about the trophy—it’s about championing a cause that empowers our community. That is what makes this partnership genuinely special.”
In line with its commitment to social responsibility, ASTCL confirmed that a portion of the league’s proceeds will be donated to a chosen charity, reinforcing its mission to create real-world impact through sport and entertainment.
Season 2 matches are expected to be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network, following the successful partnership established in previous editions. Fans can also catch exclusive updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and live highlights through the ASTCL Official Instagram and the ASTCL Official App.
