Ace West Indies wicketkeeper batter Nicholas Pooran recently caught every headline after he made a typo in one of the captions on his Instagram post. The star cricketer is in India right now to attend the pre-wedding bash of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
The pre-wedding bash had a huge guest list, with several Bollywood celebrities, cricketers, and even global sensation Rihanna making an appearance at the function as well. Pooran is also no stranger to the Ambani family; the keeper was roped in by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2017.
Taking to Instagram, Pooran shared glimpses of his time in the pre-wedding festivities and how he enjoys Indian culture and being a part of the country’s tradition.
However, it was the caption of his Instagram post where Pooran made a mistake. Wanting to write “Embracing the Indian culture,” Pooran made a grave typing error.
Consequently, the West Indian ended up writing- “Embarrassing instead of Embracing.” The moment saw fans take to X (formerly known as Twitter) and troll the star Windies cricketer for the mistake he made on Instagram.

I guess it's self depreciating humour where he wants to say that by dressing in such clothes, he is embarrassing Indian culture, probably because he wants to imply he is unable to pull it off. Pretty sure it's not a typo.
