The war of words between British journalist Piers Morgan and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag is looking unlikely to end anytime soon.
The two started having some heated exchange of tweets ever since the British journo took a dig at India’s performance in Olympics. They remained silent for some days but they have once again taken the social media by a storm.
It all started when Sehwag took to Twitter to congratulate India for their win over England in the Kabbadi World Cup. India defeated England with 69-18 during the Kabaddi World Cup on October 18. Taking a dig at England, he tweeted:“England loose (sic) 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”.
In reply, Morgan corrected Sehwag’s English by tweeting:” It’s ‘lose’.
Well, the former swashbuckling batsman got a chance to hit back at Morgan when India defeated Iran to lift the Kabaddi World Cup title on Saturday. He tweeted:
India invented Kabaddi & r World Champs for 8th time.Elsewhere some country invented Cricket & r yet only good in correcting typos.#INDvIRN pic.twitter.com/IG9fucAMMo

Clearly, Morgan had nothing to say and so he decided the undermine the value of the game.
Mate, we invented Darts & Curling but I wouldn't boast about being 'World Champions' at them. https://t.co/4PIlEKubpD

Kabaddi's not really a sport, @virendersehwag – it's just a load of grown men running around slapping each other.

As expected the British journalist was brutally trolled for his tweets. Here are some of the tweets:
Learn From Pakistan @piersmorgan.
They Invented Terrorism & Boast About Being 'World Champions' At Them. Darts & Curling Are Way Better. 😉

@virendersehwag Sir, India invented zero. We certainly don't brag about being 'world champions' in it. Chill. ?

@virendersehwag you also invented internet banter, but you still can't win one of those, can you?
