NEW DELHI: In a delightful and heartwarming moment, Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin dedicated a song to India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who was attending the band's concert in Ahmedabad.
With the British band rocking the Narendra Modi Stadium with their delightful chartbusters, Bumrah was one among the lakhs of fans present at the concert and was seen enjoying to the fullest and blushing.
As Martin got to know about Bumrah's presence, he hailed the 31-year-old and even sang a personalised song for him.
Earlier, during their Mumbai leg of the India tour, Coldplay lead Martin mentioned Bumrah, which was followed by huge cheers from the fans.
The band had also played a clip of Bumrah dismissing England batter Ollie Pope during the Test series between India and England last year.
"Hold on, we have to finish the show because Jasprit Bumrah wants to come and play backstage," Martin had said.
Bumrah had reacted to Martin's mention at the concert, saying it made him smile.
