Chris, the band’s vocalist, added “char chaand” to the show with his Hindi as well. After concluding one of his songs, he thanked the audience, saying, “Shukriya.” The most surprising element came when he said, “Jai Shri Ram.”
He was reading placards that fans held up during the concert. One of the placards read ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Martin noticed it and read it loud, evoking cheer from the attendees. He also asked what it meant.
Love For Bumrah!

While performing one of his last songs on stage at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, surprised everyone when he suddenly mentioned India’s star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah.
He said, “Hold on, we have to finish the show because Jasprit Bumrah wants to come and play backstage. ”
After thanking the fans, Martin added, “He (Bumrah) says he needs to bowl at me now.”
Cricket fans got excited when they heard Martin taking Bumrah’s. Many even assumed that Bumrah would come on stage. However, he did not show up, but Martin’s shout-out to Bumrah was well acknowledged among fans and received a loud cheer.
After the concert, Martin was spotted visiting the Shri Babulnath Temple with his partner and actor Dakota Johnson. Both opted for ethnic attire for their sacred visit.
