PUZZLE NO. 46 : TIC-TAC-TOE WINNER SUDOKU

After a series of COVID-19 themed sudokus , here is a practice sudoku for a  new variant which is going to appear in the 4th round of SUDOKU GP this weekend.

RULES : Classic sudoku rules apply. Each 3x3 box is also a grid for a Tic-Tac-Toe game. A game is won by placing three odd or three even digits in a horizontal , vertical or diagonal line. Each 3x3 box contains exactly one winning combination and this combination is marked by a grey line.
Note : This sudoku also featured on the youtube channel Cracking The Cryptic. The link to the video can be found below
