Major Blunder: ICC Mentions Rahul Dravid As Left-Hand Batsman; Twitter Loses Cool

As soon as the picture surfaced on social media, tweeps began slamming the apex cricket body for this big mistake

The International Cricket Council (ICC) committed a major blunder on their official website which drew massive flak from social media. The global cricket body listed former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid as a left-handed batsman in their Hall of Fame page on the website. “BATTING: LEFT-HAND” was written in Dravid's section on the ICC website. As soon as the picture surfaced on social media, tweeps began slamming the apex cricket body for this big mistake.

Yo @ICC who is keeping a record of your Hall of Fame page?? Since when Rahul Dravid batted left hand ??! @bhogleharsha @sachin_rt @SGanguly99 @BCCI @mohanstatsman @VVSLaxman281 @anilkumble1074 @KumarSanga2 ..someone get this rectified plz !! pic.twitter.com/WmZKRR3yNC

While checking @ICC Official site, I have found mistake in Hall of fame section. 'Rahul Dravid' is Right Hand Batsman and the record is written wrong showing Left Hand Batsman. My kind request is to correct it. pic.twitter.com/vMv03p0jfy

Later, the ICC rectified the mistake after facing the blow on social media. Dravid, last year, became the fifth Indian to be inducted in the Hall of Fame. To mark the occasion, Dravid had received his commemorative cap from fellow ICC Hall of Famer Sunil Gavaskar before the start of the fifth and final ODI between India and the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram. Dravid played 164 Tests and 344 ODIs for India from 1996 to 2012, and scored a total of 24,177 runs across the two formats.
