Sehwag gets cheeky after India’s win against England, and Piers Morgan gets trolled on Twitter

Now, it’s anyone’s guess whether this was meant as a dig at the British journalist Piers Morgan, with whom he’s had a turbulent Twitter relationship over the past couple of months, or at demonetisation, given BJP Delhi’s decision to give one laddoo per family standing in the serpentine bank and ATM queues.

The journalist had been trolled by Sehwag earlier as well, after the Kabaddi World Cup 2016. “India invented Kabaddi & r World Champs for 8th time. Elsewhere some country invented Cricket & r yet only good in correcting typos,” Sehwag had written.

Not to be outdone, this time, many Indian Twitter users even took this opportunity of having won the series against England to pull Morgan’s leg, who had mocked the performance of Indians in Rio Olympics. “Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that?” he had said in a tweet after which Indian Twitterati trolled him massively.

Clearly, Indians don’t forget and a user reminded Piers Morgan of his biting tweet against India. “Hey @piersmorgan , the number of gold medals India won in Rio are now finally equal to the number of test matches England won in this series,” wrote @Sand_In_Deed.

Morgan was quick and curt in his response. “Haha, fair point! Difference is that I’m ashamed of England’s performance,” he wrote.

And then there was no looking back. Twitterati’s having a field day taking potshots at Morgan.
