Chris Martin and Sachin Tendulkar: A Candid Chat

The banter between Chris Martin and Sachin Tendulkar was as warm as it could get! Despite belonging to two completely different lines of work, the two legends were great friends and highly respecting each other .

Of course, Sachin briefed that Coldplay’s music had always been gracing his ears, especially during his travels. He told me, “Your song ‘Fix You’ is one of my favorite songs, it has got me through some difficult situations.” This admission elicited a certain passion of Coldplay lovers, and therefore was an evidence of Coldplay’s cross generational appeal.

3. The only activity both parties show a considerable interest in is charity.

That is why this interaction was so special.
