Best bowler in cricket: Coldplay dedicates song to Jasprit Bumrah in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: Renowned British rock band Coldplay honoured Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah, calling him "the best bowler in the whole of cricket," during their concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Bumrah attended the event, and a video of the moment quickly went viral on Instagram.
Chris Martin, the band's lead singer, praised Bumrah's exceptional talent and referenced his remarkable ability to dismantle England's batting line-up.
The 31-year-old has cemented his place as a key player for India with consistent performances across formats. During the recent Australia tour, Bumrah bagged 32 wickets, proving instrumental despite India losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Bumrah is set to return to action in the third ODI of the upcoming series against England on February 12 in Ahmedabad. His participation in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy depends on his recovery from a back injury.
A video of Bumrah waving at the crowd during the concert has gained widespread attention.

Bengaluru: Man held for killing uncle over house dispute, tried to pass it off as accidental death
Bengaluru (PTI): A 22-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his uncle following a dispute over vacating a house and attempting to pass off the death as accidental, police said on Wednesday.
The accused has been identified as Masroor Ahmed.
The victim, Inayath Pasha, was living alone on the ground floor of his sister’s house in Austin Town on a lease basis. Police said he had a disability in his left leg due to polio since birth, and earned his livelihood as a two-wheeler mechanic.
According to the complaint, on the evening of March 1, Pasha’s son visited him at home and found him lying unresponsive.
On checking, he discovered that his father had died. A case of unnatural death was initially registered at the Viveknagar police station.
During further investigation, police questioned Pasha’s sister, her son, and other relatives.
A relative raised suspicion about the circumstances of the death, following which a murder case was registered, a senior police officer said.
During interrogation, it emerged that an argument had taken place on March 1 between Pasha and his nephew, Ahmed, over vacating the house.
