The band will perform another show at the same venue on Sunday, coinciding with Republic Day celebrations. This event will be livestreamed for Indian audiences on Disney+ Hotstar, ensuring fans across the country can join in the excitement.
In another social media post, the band playfully referenced cricket, showcasing a drawing of a cricket ball labeled “Ahmedabad, 1/25” and joking, “I think even Jasprit might struggle to bowl with this badly drawn ball, but at least it is almost spherical.” Frontman Chris Martin also gave a nod to Indian cricket during their earlier Mumbai gigs, showing a clip of Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling that led India to victory over England.
