ICC politely corrects Rahul Dravid gaffe following trolling by fans

The International Cricket Council (ICC) was at the receiving end of the Indian fans following a gaffe regarding Hall of Famer Rahul Dravid. Fans had trolled ICC after the latter's official Hall of Fame page stated that Dravid was a left-handed batsman. Following the goof-up, fans took to social media, brutally trolling ICC for being reckless, despite being the top and official cricketing website.

Twitter Post

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
