No one in the Narendra Modi Stadium needed special eyewear to see the hearts floating as Coldplay performed in Ahmedabad for the second time in two days.

Not only did Chris Martin, lead singer, marked the Republic Day by singing two lines of iconic ‘Vande Mataram’, he also had fun interactions with the crowd.

In one such instance, Martin said that he and other Coldplay members were born in Ahmedabad. Jokingly, he said that his bassist was born in Navrangpura, and another band member was born in ‘the suburbs of Kathwada…’, as the crowd broke into a burst of collective laughter.

The crowd also had a special guest, one the Coldplay had mentioned earlier in their Mumbai concert – Jasprit Bumrah. The star Indian cricketer with Ahmedabad connection was seen in the crowd, enjoying thr British rock band.

Addressing him during the show, Martin called him his ‘beautiful brother’, and also honoured him with the title of ‘best bowler in the cricket world’.

The band also joked about how painful it has been to see Bumrah take England wickets one after another.

With all the music and fun, the message of hope and love was not lost. Martin asked the crowd to raise their hands, and feel good, send those ‘vibes’ wherever they wanted to.

And just like that, the two-day extravaganza of Ahmedabad was over. But not without memories of an international band rocking their world, for two days straight, as the city hosted them and fans from across India, etched forever on their large Amdavadi hearts.
