Virender Sehwag gives fitting reply to Piers Morgan's Rs 1 million bet against India's gold chances

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?".

This is hilarious. An embarrassed @PiersMorgan deletes his tweet after realising that India already has 9 golds. pic.twitter.com/r2Y4CvXSPJ

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 - 

Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins another Olympic Gold. Accept?

After Morgan's move, people were waiting for Sehwag's answer and the cricketer did not disappoint.

Some people's fortune is so bad, that
Apply Apply,
But No Reply ..
Hahahaha

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.

Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that? https://t.co/FYSBM7ErAf

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

We cherish every small happiness',
But Eng who invented Cricket,&yet2win a WC,still continue to playWC.Embarrassing? https://t.co/0mzP4Ro8H9

Morgan accepted that England's situation was indeed embarrassing and argued that Kevin Pietersen's absence from the team was the cause of it.

Very embarrassing, Legend.
If @KP24 was playing, we'd win the WC.
Just as we won T20 WC & he was Man of Series. https://t.co/50X5YMQSQU

Sehwag didn't waste any time in pointing out another factual error in Morgan's tweet -

Piers Morgan just keeps getting schooled.
