In the now-viral clip, a fan called him, "India’s new wicket keeper," a line that instantly took over social media, with fans dubbing Yungblud the newest addition to Team India.

But the jersey moment was only part of an emotionally charged night. Yungblud paused during his set to speak directly to the crowd, visibly overwhelmed by the reception. “India, I absolutely love you. Every time I come here, the love feels unreal,” he said, soaking in the roar of thousands of voices. He followed it up with a promise that had fans cheering even louder: “I promise I’ll keep coming back – I want to be here every single year.”
The most powerful moment of the night came as he closed his set with a heartfelt tribute to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Performing a moving rendition of Changes, Yungblud brought a hush over the massive crowd, creating an intimate atmosphere despite the festival scale.
