India is currently enjoying two extraordinary events—Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati tour and British rock band Coldplay’s much-awaited India concerts. While fans rush to grab tickets for these musical spectacles, a surprising revelation has added a unique twist to the ongoing frenzy: Virat Kohli’s signature cricket bat costs five times more than the most expensive Coldplay tickets in India.
At the Greg Chappell Cricket Centre in Sydney, the MRF Genius Grand Edition bat, endorsed by Kohli, is available at an eye-popping price of AUD 2,985 (approximately INR 1.65 lakh). This premium cricket gear has caught the attention of enthusiasts worldwide, not only for its technical superiority but also for its association with the legendary Indian cricketer.
In comparison, Coldplay’s VIP tickets for their Music of the Spheres tour, set to light up Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 18 and 19, are priced at INR 35,000. While some fans have expressed concerns about ticket prices, many argue that the immersive experience Coldplay promises makes it worth every penny. However, in the shadow of Kohli’s bat’s staggering cost, even the highest-tier concert tickets seem like a bargain.
Kohli, a global cricketing icon, continues to command admiration for his remarkable career and immense popularity. Despite stepping down as India’s cricket captain, he remains the face of the sport, as seen in promotional campaigns for upcoming matches in Australia. His signature bat not only represents his unparalleled legacy on the field but also reflects his market value as a sporting phenomenon.
The former skipper’s fame extends beyond cricket. Married to Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, Kohli is also a doting father to their two children, Vamika and Akaay. This blend of sporting excellence and personal charisma has made him a household name and a favorite among sponsors and collectors alike.
For fans, this price disparity between Kohli’s bat and Coldplay’s tickets underscores the distinct worlds of cricket and music. While one offers an unforgettable live experience, the other represents a tangible piece of sporting history. Both, however, continue to captivate audiences and showcase the passions that unite millions across the globe.
As Coldplay prepares to mesmerize Indian fans and Kohli’s bat draws attention internationally, the choices are clear—whether you spend on a ticket to the tunes of Chris Martin or invest in a piece of cricketing legend, the excitement is priceless.
