Piers Morgan hits back at Virender Sehwag: Says Kabaddi is not really a sport

The war of words on Twitter between Virender Sehwag and Piers Morgan just keeps on getting longer.
The two were involved in a heated war of words during this year’s Olympics after the British journo took a dig at India’s performance in Olympics. He tweeted: “Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that?”
Sehwag retaliated by taking a dig at England’s poor performance in cricket World Cup, which they have failed to win despite being the pioneer of the game. The matters cooled down after Sehwag stopped replying. However, the war of words started once again after Sehwag mocked England after their loss to India in Kabaddi World Cup.
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

Clearly, Morgan had nothing to say and so he decided to correct Sehwag’ English. As expected, the British journalist was royally trolled for his tweet.
Morgan tweeted:
It's 'lose'. https://t.co/QAiUHfI2ft

Well, Sehwag got the chance to take a dig at Morgan when India defeated Iran to win the Kabaddi World Cup. He tweeted:“”India invented Kabaddi & r World Champs for 8th time.Elsewhere some country invented Cricket & r yet only good in correcting typos.”

Not the one to remain silent, Morgan has now retaliated by undermining the value of the game by posting a couple of tweets. Well, the British journalist might have crossed the limit this time as insulting Kabaddi is an insult to the country which has completely dominated the game.
Mate, we invented Darts & Curling but I wouldn't boast about being 'World Champions' at them. https://t.co/4PIlEKubpD

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