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.
