In the clip, Bumrah can be seen sharing smiles with his wife and mother. He could also be seen interacting with the band backstage.
On January 26, Bumrah stole the spotlight when Coldplay paid a special tribute to him by dedicating a song to him during the concert.
"O Jasprit Bumrah, my beautiful brother. The best bowler in the whole of cricket. We did not enjoy watching you destroy England, wicket after wicket," Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin said.
Chris also played a clip of Bumrah, where the Indian fast bowler was demolishing the batters with his sheer class and pace. Coldplay also displayed Bumrah's signed Test jersey on the stage.
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the vast potential of India's concert economy, citing the success of recent high-profile concerts like Coldplay's shows in Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Addressing the Utkarsh Odisha - Make in Odisha Conclave 2025, PM Modi highlighted the opportunity to further boost tourism, create jobs, and enhance the global identity of India's creative sector.
He noted that India's rich cultural heritage, large youth population, and growing demand for live events make it an attractive destination for concerts. The recent Coldplay concerts, which were sold out, demonstrate the immense scope for live concerts in India.
"In a country with such a rich heritage in music, dance, and storytelling, with such a large pool of youth and a massive consumer base for concerts, there are vast opportunities for the concert economy. In the past decade, both the trend and demand for live events have grown. You must have seen the incredible images from the Coldplay concerts in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in recent days. This is proof of how much scope live concerts have in India," PM Modi said.
