Sehwag owns twitter with witty comeback to Piers Morgan's Olympics jab

Virender Sehwag is one witty guy, and British journalist Piers Morgan sure knows that by now.

At around midnight on Wednesday, Morgan thought of reviving the somewhat limp conversation on India's gold medal chances at the Olympic Games after England's record-breaking innings against Pakistan.

Soon after, he was barraged with tweets pointing out its factual error. Morgan had forgotten to take into account India's eight gold medals for hockey and Abhinav Bindra's gold for shooting at Beijing Olympics.

The CNN presenter then tweaked his tweet to read:

After Morgan's move, people were waiting with bated breath for Sehwag's reply and our witty Viru did not disappoint.

The twitter feud began when Morgan mocked Indians for celebrating the victories of Sakshi Malik and PV Sindhu at the Rio Olympics when Britain finished second on the medals tally.

Morgan hasn't been spared by twitterati. However, he seems unperturbed and his tone remains unapologetic.

He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added.
