WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah reacts to Coldplay's unexpected Mumbai concert tribute

Star India fiery pacer Jasprit Bumrah seemed ecstatic about receiving a shout-out from the renowned band Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin. Notably, during a concert in Mumbai, Martin specially mentioned Bumrah while stopping his act in the middle of the concert.

He funnily pointed out that the Indian pacer was waiting backstage to play along with him. Moreover, he added that the band needed to wrap up the show as quickly as possible to let Bumrah have his moment. Notably, the electrifying concert took place on Saturday. 

"Hold on, we have to finish the show because Jasprit Bumrah wants to come and play backstage," said Martin in an earlier viral video from the concert.

"He says he needs to bowl at me now. We'll ask him to wait 15 minutes," the renowned band leader further added.

Now after getting recognition from such a big band and musician, Team India's bowling leader did not fail to notice the gesture of Chris Martin. The fans too seemed in awe of Martin for acknowledging Bumrah in a rather unexpected but special way. Hence Bumrah took to his social media to appreciate and thank Martin and Coldplay for getting the shout-out.

"This made me smile! Incredible vibe at the @coldplay concert in Mumbai (from what I've seen here) and even more special to be mentioned." Bumrah wrote on his 'X' handle.
