After thanking the audience, Martin added, "He (Bumrah) says he needs to bowl at me now."
This unexpected shout-out to Bumrah sparked excitement among cricket fans in the audience, with many wondering if Bumrah would actually appear on stage. While he didn't, the mention of his name still generated a loud cheer from the crowd at the concert, organized by BookMyShow Live.
