At the Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad on January 27, 2025, Chris Martin gave a special tribute to Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was present at the event. The rock band had already displayed a signed jersey from Bumrah during their performance, and Martin took it a step further by composing an impromptu song dedicated to the cricketer. As the crowd erupted in excitement, Martin sang, “Jasprit, my beautiful brother. The best bowler in the whole of cricket. We do not enjoy, watching you destroy… England with wicket after wicket after wicket”.

The crowd cheered as Bumrah blushed and waved. This moment highlighted the admiration Coldplay has for the pacer, who has been a standout performer for India, especially in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

However, Bumrah has been sidelined due to a back injury, and his participation in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy is uncertain. Bumrah, who was named Player of the Tournament in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, is widely regarded as one of the best pacers in the world, with a stellar record in all formats. His fitness will be crucial for India’s chances in the Champions Trophy.
