Virender Sehwag gives fitting reply to British journalist's comment on India's Olympics

Piers Morgan is trending in Twitter India at the moment after his controversial non-funny tweet about India's performance at the Olympics. The presenter made fun of the way India is celebrating the two medals, a bronze and a silver, they have from the Rio Olympics. He tweeted saying

Giving a fitting reply to this tweet, ex- Indian opener Virender Sehwag immediately brought up England's performance in World Cup history. The cradle of cricket have never won a Cricket World Cup so far.

If India can produce a batsman as brilliant as @sachin_rt then it can produce Gold medal winning Olympians. Needs investment & focus.

Morgan also came up with a reply to Sehwag's cricket jibe.

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

And then Sehwag retorted with another gem.

However, not all Indian Twitterati had Sehwag's swag. Some felt the brunt of the Englishman's sarcasm.

Er, I think you mean heroically facing up to one the 3 fastest bowlers in history. https://t.co/O0QDRorYP9

Free India's greatest-ever writer and self-proclaimed defender of India's pride Chetan Bhagat waded into the controversy. And the literary giant could not spell Morgan's first name and was ripped apart by Morgan, who responded in kind with a mis-spelling! Times when you wish we promoted better writers than this man.

We honor achievers Peirs. Top 3 in the world,despite 3rd world sports facilities isn't loser.It is freaking amazing! https://t.co/pbFuP0Hmky
