The International Cricket Council (ICC) made a major goof-up when they referred to Rahul Dravid as a left-hand bat on their Hall of Fame page. Fans on Twitter mercilessly trolled cricket’s world governing body for its embarrassing gaffe. However, the the Hall of Fame page, which is available on ICC’s official website, has been updated and the mistake rectified.
In November last year, India’s batting great, referred to as ‘The Wall’ by many, was officially inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, becoming only the only the fifth player from India after Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Gavaskar and Anil Kumble to be named on the elite list.
However, on Friday, reports emerged in the Indian media, pointing to ICC’s mistake where it listed Dravid as “BATTING: LEFT-HAND”.
On July 2, 2018, the ICC had announced Dravid and Australian legend Ricky Ponting’s induction into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Dublin.
