Chris and Dakota came to India on January 16 for the band’s musical tour. Chris, along with the members of ‘Coldplay’, had concerts lined up in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Their last show of the Indian leg of ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour was conducted at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Republic Day.
Chris paid a heartfelt tribute to India by singing patriotic tracks such ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Maa Tujhhe Salaam’ during the Ahmedabad concert on Sunday. The soulful performance immediately enthralled the audience, and they reciprocated with loud cheers and applause. He ended the concert with, “Salute to Mother India” and extended Republic Day wishes to everyone.
In another special moment during his concert, Chris also dedicated a beautiful song to the Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah. In a cheeky dig, Martin admitted that he didn’t like him “destroy” the English batting lineup with his fiery bowling.
“O Jasprit Bumrah, my beautiful brother. The best bowler in the whole of cricket. We did not enjoy watching you destroy England, wicket after wicket”, Chris can be seen singing the song in a video shared on Disney+ Hotstar Instagram handle.
Sunday’s show was live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar. Chris Martin concluded the concert by expressing gratitude and love for the vibrant crowd. (ANI)
