Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah finally made it to the Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad on Sunday (January 26) and band's lead singer Chris Martin also dedicated a song for him.
Indian fast bowler sat in the audience as he rejoiced the music, Chris Martin then sang for Bumrah during the Republic Day concert.
It was no surprise that Bumrah made his presence felt at Coldplay's Ahmedabad concert as during the Mumbai gig Chris Martin had read a message from ‘Bumrah’s lawyers' about unauthorised use of his name. Fans had already speculated this was a build-up to the star cricketer's appearance at the gig.
Bumrah was seen towards the end of the show and then Chris addressed the heavily packed stadium. While Chris was speaking, he camera panned to Jasprit Bumrah in the audience.
During his Tuesday gig, Chris had paused the show and said, “I’m so sorry, but I have to read a letter from Jasprit Bumrah’s lawyer. I have to read it because otherwise, we could be sent to prison and wouldn’t be able to perform in Ahmedabad.”
Chris said, “Dear Coldplay, in your first and second show, you mentioned Jasprit Bumrah without permission. It’s illegal—you can’t mention Jasprit. Who do you think you are, you stupid Englishman? It also says, Mr. Jasprit Bumrah is the greatest bowler in the whole wide world, and you are just a silly singer.”
The concert, a part of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour, was also streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar in India.
Coldplay’s Mumbai concerts have been successful and many Bollywood celebs including Navya Naveli Nanda, Suhana Khan.
