Coldplay’s record-breaking night in Ahmedabad

Coldplay will perform another concert at the same venue on Republic Day, which will also be live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.

Ahead of the show, the band shared a humorous post featuring a poorly drawn cricket ball, with a nod to Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah. “Even Jasprit might struggle to bowl with this badly drawn ball,” the caption joked, continuing Coldplay’s playful references to Indian cricket.

A tour to remember

The Ahmedabad concerts followed Coldplay’s sold-out shows at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 19 and 21. The Mumbai performances attracted celebrities, including singer Shreya Ghoshal, who attended with her family.
