Subject: Correction regarding errors in Prudential World Cup news article

Sir/Madam,

Through your reader’s opinions page, I would like to point out two major errors published in your recent article titled “India Wins the World Cup”.

Firstly, the article mentions that India was all out for 217 runs, whereas the actual score was 183 runs. Secondly, it names Amarnath as the Indian captain, whereas Kapil Dev was the captain of the winning Indian team.

I request you to publish a correction in your esteemed newspaper so that accurate historical facts are conveyed to the readers.
