The memorable moment unfolded during the band’s Republic Day concert as Martin interacted with the audience while performing on stage B. A camera caught Bumrah enjoying the show, prompting the singer to address him directly. Playfully referencing Bumrah’s prowess on the cricket field, Martin sang about the bowler’s ability to demolish England’s batting lineup, a comment that had the crowd roaring with applause.

This wasn’t the first time Bumrah’s name came up during Coldplay’s India tour. At their earlier concert in Mumbai, Martin had humorously referred to the cricketer while speaking to the audience. Days later, in an unexpected twist, he jokingly claimed to have received a letter from Bumrah’s lawyers, warning the band against using the cricketer’s name without authorization. In a theatrical tone, Martin read the mock letter, which praised Bumrah as the greatest bowler in the world while poking fun at the singer himself. The playful exchange left fans speculating that this might be part of a larger buildup to Bumrah’s attendance at the Ahmedabad concert, which also happens to be his hometown.
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour has been a spectacular success in India, with the band delivering electrifying performances across cities. The Mumbai concerts, streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar, saw a star-studded audience that included Bollywood celebrities and public figures. However, it was the Ahmedabad finale that truly captured hearts, with Bumrah’s surprise appearance adding a unique twist to an already magical evening.
