The war of tweets between British journalist and TV anchor Piers Morgan and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag shows no sign of coming to a truce.
At around midnight on Wednesday, Morgan thought of reviving the somewhat dead conversation on India's gold medal chances at the Olympic Games after England's record-breaking innings against Pakistan.
Morgan tweeted at Sehwag, "Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins an Olympic Gold. Accept?".
Immediately after this, he was barraged with tweets pointing out its factual error. Morgan forgot to take into accont India's eight gold medals in hockey and Abhinav Bindra's gold for shooting at Beijing Olympics.
The CNN presenter then deleted the tweet and published an amended one.
The new tweet read -
After Morgan's move, people were waiting for Sehwag's answer and the cricketer did not disappoint.
Knocked it out of the park, eh?
This feud had started with Morgan mocking Indians for celebrating Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu's spectacular achievement at the recently concluded Rio Olympics when Britain finished second on the medals tally.
Indian Twitter did not waste any time in giving it back to the journalist and Sehwag showed him the Indian way of celebrating achievements. He also asked Morgan about England's failure when it came to winning the cricket world up for ODIs
Morgan accepted that England's situation was indeed embarrassing and argued that Kevin Pietersen's absence from the team was the cause of it.
Sehwag didn't waste any time in pointing out another factual error in Morgan's tweet -
Piers Morgan just keeps getting schooled.
