Chris Martin sings Vande Maataram
Chris Martin is known to personalise the concert experience based on the country or city that he is performing. While in Mumbai, the singer attempted to speak in Hindi and the state's language of Marathi. In Gujarat, he made the attempt to greet the crowd in the state's native language and it was just adorable to see him make the attempt.
Since it was Republic Day, Chris wished the audience on the occasion in both English and Hindi. If that wasn't enough, the singer surprised all by singing Vande Mataram while playing the keyboard.
Jasprit Bumrah makes an appearance
Finally! Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah attended the final concert of the band in India. The bowler was given a shoutout by Chris Martin during his shows in Mumbai leaving the crowd in frenzy. He had also played a clip of Bumrah destroying England batsmen on the big screen during his concert.
At the end of the concert on Sunday, the camera was on Bumrah and Chris Martin made up a song dedicated to the cricketer. The ace cricketer and the music icon share a light-hearted exchange, blending cricket and music in an unforgettable bromance that fans can’t stop talking about.
