It was a special night for Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah and his family as they attended Coldplay’s final concert of their India tour in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Not only did the stadium come alive with the band’s music, but the night also featured a heartwarming surprise for the cricketer.
Bumrah, known for his deadly pace bowling on the cricket field, was spotted enjoying the evening with his wife and mother. The moment was even more memorable when Coldplay dedicated a song to him, turning the spotlight on the fast bowler. The band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, expressed his admiration for Bumrah, calling him “the best bowler in the whole of cricket.” He went on to jokingly mention how the crowd did not enjoy watching Bumrah take down England’s top batters. The tribute was followed by a video clip showcasing some of Bumrah’s best moments on the field, including his thrilling wickets.
The crowd cheered, and Bumrah couldn’t help but smile, clearly touched by the gesture. He later shared the moment with his followers on social media, posting a video of the fun he had with his family. In the clip, the family can be seen enjoying the music and sharing laughs. Bumrah thanked Coldplay for the special shoutout and congratulated the band on their successful India tour.
Bumrah’s presence at the concert added to the excitement, with fans buzzing about the chance to see the cricket star in such a fun, relaxed setting. It’s not every day that a world-class cricketer and a global music band share the stage in such a personal way.
The tribute to Bumrah wasn’t the only highlight of Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concert. The band’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, and the atmosphere was electric. Thousands of fans sang along to the band’s hits as Coldplay wrapped up their Indian tour on a high note. Many fans considered it a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the band live in their city, and for Bumrah, the night was filled with memories.
On January 26, a special moment during the concert drew even more attention when Coldplay displayed Bumrah’s signed Test jersey on stage. This rare display of respect for the cricketer’s achievements further highlighted the unique connection between the band and India.
Bumrah’s social media post also caught the attention of his fans, who were delighted to see the cricketer in such a light-hearted setting. His message to Coldplay, thanking them for the unforgettable experience, reflected his gratitude for the love he received from the band and his family’s support in the moment.
In the meantime, the Indian government also took note of the growing popularity of international concerts in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently spoke about how Coldplay’s concerts in India showcased the huge potential of the country’s concert economy. He pointed out that India’s vibrant culture and growing youth population made it a perfect spot for live events. With concerts like Coldplay’s, which sold out in minutes, it’s clear that the demand for such performances is growing rapidly in India.
The success of Coldplay’s India tour is just one example of how live events are becoming a significant part of India’s entertainment scene. The increase in demand for concerts and live performances is expected to boost tourism and create new jobs, benefiting both the economy and the global reputation of India’s creative industries.
For Bumrah, attending the Coldplay concert was not only about enjoying the music but also about being part of something bigger. It was an evening where the worlds of sports and music met in the most unexpected, yet beautiful way. With memories like these, it’s clear that Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad will remain etched in the hearts of everyone who was lucky enough to be there.
