Piers Morgan, known for getting into the news due to his Twitter posts, recently got trolled for his criticizing India’s hyped celebration at winning two Rio Olympics medals.
Some hours back, the British journalist took to his Twitter handle to repost a report on India welcoming its Olympic achievers and wrote alongside, ‘Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that’’
His comment didn't go down well with the Twitterati and in no time, they started slamming the 51-year-old TV personality saying, ‘Nothing more embarrassing than being Piers Morgan.’ ‘@Mendelpol @JamesPatty7 @piersmorgan fucknuts co-relate Population with Sport. How many NASA scientists does GB have’ 50%of NASA is Indian, wrote one.’ ‘@piersmorgan Piers, population size has literally no correlation to sporting success at all., wrote the other,’ tweeted another.
‘@Mendelpol Let's not forget how developed nations force sports of their choice to have multiple medals. U must b 1 proud bully @piersmorgan,’ said one. ‘@piersmorgan slamming fans in small towns that don't have a lot to celebrate is strange behavior from a man who has a lot,’ wrote another.
But Virender Sehwag, cricket legend and Twitter ninja had the perfect reply as he mocked England's failure to win a World Cup.
We cherish every small happiness',

.@piersmorgan Country that hosts the Wimbledon since 1877 has produced just one men's singles champion since 1937. How embarrassing is that?

Piers Morgan seems to be Shobha De of England. Empty head, loose tongue and wide mouth, in which are found both his feet.
— Penny Purewal (@PennyPurewal) August 24, 2016
After watching Shobha De hogging so much attention by a silly tweet, Piers Morgan couldn't control himself.
