Jasprit Bumrah surprises fans at Coldplay's final concert in Ahmedabad, Chris Martin sings ‘do not enjoy…’

Celebrated Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah made a surprise appearance at Coldplay's final concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. And within minutes, the British rock band's front man, Chris Martin crafted a song for the bowler.

“We do not enjoy….watching you destroy England, with wicket after wicket..” sang Chris Martin for his ‘beautiful brother’.

The cherry on top? Chris Martin even hailed Bumrah as the “best bowler in the whole of cricket.”

The crowd erupted in joy as Jasprit Bumrah appeared on the grand screen. Chris continued to sing, and Bumrah was all smiles.

The ace bowler took to his Instagram to thank Coldplay, stating that it was “an experience for a lifetime.” 

“ This was an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for all the love @coldplay and congratulations on the super successful shows in India. We’ll see you soon,” wrote Jasprit Bumrah.

Coldplay and Jasprit Bumrah

The shoutout at the Ahmedabad concert was not the first time that Coldplay paid a tribute to ace bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Chris Martin has mentioned Jasprit Bumrah during the Mumbai concert as well, and in a way one can never think of.

While singing ‘A Sky Full of Stars’, Chris Martin suddenly stopped his performance and said: “Hold on, we have to finish the show because Jasprit Bumrah wants to come and play backstage."

Martin went on thanking his fans and added, "He (Bumrah) says he needs to bowl at me now."

Coldplay's tribute for Jasprit Bumrah does not end just there. Chris Martin even showcased a clip of Bumrah's iconic yorker that led to England's crumbling defeat against India during the Test tour in 2024.

“This made me smile! Incredible vibe at the @coldplay concert in Mumbai (from what I’ve seen here) and even more special to be mentioned,” Jasprit Bumrah had written on X (formerly Twitter).
