Coldplay mentions Bumrah during Mumbai concerts
During Mumbai concerts, Coldplay talked about Jasprit Bumrah on several occasions. Lead singer Chris Martin also played the clip of Bumrah's dismissal of England batter Ollie Pope during the Test series between India and England last year.
“With respect and love for Jasprit, number one in the world, we hope that we send love to him by showing you this clip of India destroying England,” said Chris Martin.
Speaking of Jasprit Bumrah, the pacer incurred back spasms during the Sydney Test against Australia. As a result, he was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the final Test.
The BCCI's medical team are yet to give an official injury update regarding the pacer. However, he has been named in India's squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
Bumrah was also recently named in ICC's Test and T20I Team of the Year.
