Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad on Sunday took a fun turn when Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah showed up and lead singer Chris Martin dedicated a special song to him. This unexpected moment added an extra star element to Coldplay’s final performance in India.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Surprise Appearance at the Concert
Jasprit Bumrah, known for his fast bowling skills, was spotted in the audience during Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad. As the band performed on stage B, Chris Martin took a moment to speak to the crowd. When the camera panned to Bumrah, Chris made a surprising announcement, calling him “the best bowler in all of cricket” before performing an impromptu song in his honor.
This wasn’t the first time Bumrah had been mentioned during the band’s tour. A few days earlier, during Coldplay’s concert in Mumbai, Chris had brought up Bumrah’s name, which sparked rumors among fans. These rumors seemed to be confirmed when Chris read out a funny “letter” from Bumrah’s lawyers, claiming it was illegal for Coldplay to mention the cricketer without permission.
The Funny Letter from Bumrah’s Lawyers
At the Mumbai concert, Chris Martin made an amusing announcement that he had to read a letter from Bumrah’s lawyers to avoid trouble. He paused the show and said, “I’m so sorry, but I have to read a letter from Jasprit Bumrah’s lawyer. If I don’t, we could get into big trouble and wouldn’t be able to perform in Ahmedabad.”
Chris then proceeded to read the letter, which had a humorous tone. The letter, supposedly from Bumrah’s lawyers, claimed that Coldplay had mentioned his name without permission. It playfully said, “It’s illegal to mention Jasprit Bumrah. Who do you think you are, you silly Englishman?” The letter ended with a cheeky remark, calling Bumrah the “greatest bowler in the world” and teasing Chris for being “just a silly singer.” Fans found the letter entertaining and believed it was part of a playful buildup to Bumrah’s appearance in Ahmedabad.
Coldplay’s Successful India Tour
Coldplay’s concert in India is part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, and it has been a huge success. The concert in Ahmedabad was streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar for fans across India. The Mumbai concerts also received great attention, with several Bollywood celebrities, including Shreya Ghoshal, Suhana Khan, Navya Nanda, and Kajal Aggarwal, among the audience. Their presence further highlighted the popularity of the band in India.
The concert in Ahmedabad marked the final stop of Coldplay’s India tour, making it even more special for fans who had been eagerly waiting for the band’s return. The fun moment with Jasprit Bumrah added a personal touch, blending music and sports in a way that delighted fans of both.
Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad was unforgettable, not just for the music but for the unexpected surprise of Jasprit Bumrah’s appearance. Chris Martin’s playful dedication to the cricketer, along with the fun “lawyer’s letter,” made the night even more memorable. Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour will surely be remembered for this unique moment, blending rock and cricket in a way fans won’t forget.
