**Ahmedabad, India** – Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah made a surprise appearance at Coldplay’s final India concert in Ahmedabad on Sunday, adding a significant dose of star power to the already electrifying event. The appearance followed a playful build-up over the previous week involving Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Last week in Mumbai, Martin first mentioned Bumrah during a concert, sparking speculation amongst fans. This was followed by a humorous moment at the band’s next Mumbai show where Martin dramatically read a letter, purportedly from Bumrah’s lawyers, playfully chiding the band for mentioning the cricketer without permission. The letter, which also declared Bumrah “the greatest bowler in the whole wide world,” was widely seen as a publicity stunt.
On Sunday, during the Ahmedabad concert, as Chris Martin addressed the crowd, the camera focused on Bumrah in the audience. Martin then spontaneously dedicated a song to the cricketer, hailing him as “the best bowler in all of cricket.”
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour concerts in India, streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar, have been a massive success, attracting a large celebrity turnout in Mumbai. Bumrah’s surprise appearance in his hometown added another unforgettable element to the already highly anticipated final show.
