Coldplay's Chris Martin Dedicates Song to Jasprit Bumrah at Ahmedabad Concert
In a heartwarming moment during Coldplay's concert in Ahmedabad, India, singer Chris Martin dedicated a song to the country's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah. Martin, a self-proclaimed cricket enthusiast, acknowledged Bumrah's prowess as the "best bowler in the whole of cricket."
With a playful jab, Martin admitted that he didn't enjoy watching Bumrah "destroy" the English batting lineup with his fiery bowling. He even played a clip of Bumrah's bowling brilliance on stage, showcasing the Indian fast bowler's devastating pace and skill.
This wasn't the first time Martin expressed his admiration for Bumrah. During Coldplay's concerts in Mumbai, Martin surprised the audience by mentioning Bumrah's name, jokingly claiming that the bowler wanted to come and play backstage. This elicited a loud cheer from the crowd, who were clearly thrilled by the unexpected shout-out.
Martin's gesture highlights the growing popularity of cricket among international musicians and celebrities. Bumrah, currently the top-ranked bowler in ICC Men's Test Rankings, is a true cricketing icon, and his talent and dedication have earned him respect and admiration from fans and fellow athletes alike.

Spare us the cringey dedication, Chris. We just want to hear your music, not your sports commentary.

Bumrah is talented, but let's not forget the bowlers who came before him. Martin needs to show some respect for history.

This is just another example of celebrities jumping on the bandwagon of whatever's popular. Cricket is hot right now, so here's Martin trying to cash in.
