Coldplay held their first ever concert in Mumbai led by singer Chris Martin.
Coldplay's concert in Mumbai on Saturday was an amazing experience for music and cricket enthusiasts alike. The evening concluded with lead singer Chris Martin stunning the audience.
As the popular song 'A Sky Full of Stars,' was building up to the drop, the band killed it, with Martin addressing the perplexed audience. He revealed that he had to finish the show now as India pacer Jasprit Bumrah was backstage and wanted to play with them.
“Hold on, we have to finish the show because Jasprit Bumrah wants to come and play backstage. He (Martin) says he needs to bowl at me now," Martin said.
The supporters at the venue roared after Martin's comment, which sparked a frenzy on social media as many assumed the Indian bowler would take the stage. However, this was not the intended outcome. His remark on one of India's most popular cricketers left fans with a lasting impression.
Here is the video:
Jasprit Bumrah has been named in the provisional Team India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. He is currently resting and rehabbing at the Center of Excellence after experiencing back pain during the Sydney Test earlier in the month.
It was revealed that he has swelling in his back, and the Indian team will hope that he can recover in time for the full duration of the tournament. However, reports have suggested that he would be available for only the knockout stages.
