On Sunday, January 26, Jasprit Bumrah attended Coldplay’s second Music of the Spheres World Tour concert in Ahmedabad. He is presently taking some time off from the Indian cricket team after suffering a back injury. The concert was undoubtedly a resounding success, with the band’s devoted supporters filling the expansive Narendra Modi Stadium to capacity. Last night’s most significant moment was not the set list or the pyrotechnics. The moment was a delightful interlude in which Jasprit and the concert attendees were taken aback by the comprehensive tribute that lead singer Chris Martin paid to the cricketer.
The band, in jest, sang a few lines for Jasprit, informing him that they were not pleased with England’s recent loss to India: “O Jasprit Bumrah, my beautiful brother.” The most exceptional bowler in the entire game of cricket. Chris sang, “We did not enjoy watching you destroy England, wicket after wicket.” In addition to this, Jasprit’s signed Test jersey was also displayed on stage as a gesture of respect.

Every cricket enthusiast is, of course, living rent-free at the present. The following are examples of internet comments that convey the same sentiment: “It is commendable to see Bumrah receiving the recognition she deserves,” and “This is truly epic.” “That’s a reverse swing from Chris Martin,” the legend exclaimed, “appreciating the legend.” “Boom Boom Bumrah!”, “It’s a goosebump moment, he is the best in the world, I only believe in Jassi Bhai,” “Bumrah= 50% team India strength 🔥🔥🔥,” and “Because even Coldplay believes in Jassi Bhai 😍❤️.”
By the way, this is not the first instance in which Coldplay has alluded to Jasprit during a concert. The band presented a video of the cricketer traversing the England batting lineup during their 2024 Test series during their performance in Mumbai. Chris proceeded to deliver a quip in which he pretended to read a letter from Jasprit’s counsel regarding the use of his name during the concert: “I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am required to read a letter from Jasprit Bumrah’s lawyer.” Chris jokingly stated, “I must do this because, otherwise, we may be incarcerated and unable to perform in Ahmedabad.”
