The stage is all set for the second round of war on Twitter between former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and British journalist Piers Morgan.
The two were involved in a heated war of words a couple of months ago when the British journo took a dig at India’s medal tally at the Olympics. In reply, Sehwag trolled Morgan by taking a dig at England’s dismal record in cricket World Cups. Morgan was not only trolled by Sehwag but also by the Indian Twitterati.
Well, this time, it was the Indian cricketer who started the proceedings. It all started when the former swashbuckling opener trolled England after they were thrashed 69-18 by the Indian team in the Kabaddi World Cup on October 18. Taking a jibe at England, Sehwag tweeted:““England loose in a World Cup again.Only the sport changes.This time it’s Kabaddi. India thrash them 69-18.All the best for semis #INDvENG,”
England loose in a World Cup again.Only the sport changes.This time it's Kabaddi.

Morgan, who seems to be obsessed with the Indian cricket star, tried to troll Sehwag by correcting his English. Retweeting Sehwag’s tweet, he wrote: “It’s lose.”
It's 'lose'. https://t.co/QAiUHfI2ft

I don't know what hurts Morgan more; England 'losing' or Sehwag tweeting about it!

When you can't win an argument, start correcting your opponent's grammar!#TwitterRules @virendersehwag
