New Delhi: Oops! Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday made a typo while showering praise on Virat Kohli whose match-winning knock helped India register a memorable victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup.
He deliberately missed his flight from Goa to watch the India-Pakistan clash.
“After addressing a conference of Catholic universities in Goa this morning I declined the scheduled flight which would have meant missing the #indvspakmatch entirely. Even though the next flight is only at 9.55 pm I was thrilled to see one of the great matches of this tournament,” Tharoor tweeted.
In another tweet directed at Kohli, he said: “And this man is both genius & authetic hero! Utterly awesome @imVkohli.”
The internet could not believe that this wordsmith could make a typo.
“Sir, please give the meaning of ‘authetic’ I am unable to find it,” one person tweeted.
“Tharoor misspelled ‘authentic’,” tweeted another.
One person came to his rescue by saying that “authetic” is indeed a word and made sense in the context used by the Congress leader.
“Was surprised, thinking I’d spotted a typo in a @ShashiTharoor tweet, but “authetic” is a real word and makes sense in this context,” she tweeted.
However, Tharoor clarified that it was indeed a typo.
“Thanks for coming to the rescue, @perthinent, but it was, alas, a typo!” Mr
