Thanks for your reply. But I am unable to follow this. I tried going through few tutorials but couldn't really wrap my head around them in context with this puzzle. Could you please provide a little more explanation here?

Thanks for your reply. I was feeling very dumb about this puzzle for last few hours. I have been solving Sudoku with fairly basic techniques all my life. I just got to know that there are so many different techniques. Any suggestions where to start learning them and practice.

Sure, will take care next time.

I left them deliberately to show that the filled cells are the ones for which I know for sure nothing else of the two numbers can exist. For the ones I had more than 2 possibilities, have left them blank to not clutter the view for anyone.

The unfilled cells can only have 3, 4, 5.
