One of the basic requirements of editing a news report is to satisfactorily address the questions of What, When, Who, Why and How. Often, one or two elements are found to be missing from newspaper reports. At times, it is understandable as there could be reasons behind the omission such as facts not yet verified or lack of time to verify facts. But, how one is to explain this blunder.
The second fastest T20 century in first class cricket by Urvil Patel (who played for Gujarat Titans in the IPL) achieved on November 27, 2024 was a sensational story.
The sufficiently well displayed newspaper report, presented here, went gaga over it. However, it failed to quench the curiosity of readers who were wanting to know how many fours and sixes were there in the electrifying knock which came in just 28 balls. Alas, there was no mention of it. How could it miss the eyes of the persons who edited and displayed the report?
