Piers Morgan pokes fun at India's performance in Rio: Here's how Virender Sehwag SHUT him down

New Delhi: UK Journalist Piers Morgan was trending on Twitter on Wednesday ever since he posted a tweet where he mocked India for celebrating over winning just two medals at Rio Olympics 2016.

Piers, who is an Arsenal fan, and is known to have a go at trollers, was hogging the limelight on Twitter soon after he posted a tweet which read, "Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarassing is that?"

Minutes after he posted his tweet, thousands of Indian fans trolled Piers for it.

While several celebrities took a dig at Piers, Virender Sehwag – who has been in news lately for his brilliant tweets, didn't waste the opportunity and slammed Piers with two tweets.

Sehwag started with a tweet where he reminded Piers that England were yet to win a World Cup, despite being the inventors of the sport.

We cherish every small happiness',
But Eng who invented Cricket,&yet2win a WC,still continue to playWC.Embarrassing? https://t.co/0mzP4Ro8H9 — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 24, 2016

Piers soon replied saying had Kevin Pietersen still been playing, England would have won the World Cup.

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 — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016

The battle didn't end there as Viru reminded Piers that KP was originally from South Africa.

KP is a legend no doubt,bt wasnt he born in SA,&by ur logic Eng shd hv won 2007WC.
Why hv prblm wid our ppl,celbrtng https://t.co/ZigCrzVG05 — Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) August 24, 2016

Piers mellowed down after Sehwag's second tweet and said that people should be celebrating coming first and not other achievements.

I think people should only celebrate winning.
Coming 2nd or 3rd isn't winning, it's losing.
No? https://t.co/9lkOl3iumL — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
