Today we have another puzzle by our guest author Kumaresan. He has created a Counting Neighbours Sudoku.
Rules of classic sudoku apply. Number in a cell with a circle tells you how many distinct digits you can find in up to 8 neighbouring cells (sharing edge or corner). Number in a cell with a cross tells you how many distinct digits you can find in up to 4 diagonally neighbouring cells (sharing a corner). All possible circles and crosses are drawn.

EDIT : There was a missing X at R7C3. I was too caught up in creating team rounds to check it properly. My bad.
