Kabaddi World Cup: 'England lose again', Viru resurrects Twitter rivalry

India achieved a resounding 69-18 victory over England in their last Group A match of the Kabaddi World Cup in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.

This success, over its former rulers, secured India's place in the semi-finals and prompted former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag to resume his battle with anything-English on Twitter. The Nawab of Najafgarh took a dig at England's poor showing in a World Cup yet again, reviving the rivalry with what Piers Morgan started at the time of Rio Olympics.

Here's how Viru trolled the Brits:

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
#INDvENG

Sehwag's former teammate Mohammad Kaif also congratulated the Indian team on their victory:

Congratulations India on defeating England comprehensively in #kabaddiworldcup2016 .
All the best for the semis against Iran.#INDvENG

Not to be left far behind, Bollywood took to Twitter as well to show their support for the Indian Kabaddi team, with the Big B taking Sehwag's route and trolling England.

Here's what Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan had to say:
