Piers Morgan Tried to Troll Sehwag and It Didn’t End Well for Him

Piers Morgan went down while trying to troll Virender Sehwag.

British journalist and television personality Piers Morgan has been treading on Indian Twitter’s toes for the past two weeks with his tweets about India’s performance at the Rio Olympics.

But this time the “respected journalist” got trolled himself while attempting to pull one on Virender Sehwag on Twitter.

Here is how a fan account of Sehwag replied to Morgan’s tweet:

.@piersmorgan India Already Has 9 #Gold Medals, England Has Zero WC.
As Far As Charity Is Concerned, You Already Owe Us Kohinoor. #ENGvPAK

— Virender Sehwag (@VirenderrSehwag) August 30, 2016

Piers Morgan deleted his tweet soon after, only to slyly ‘rectify’ it.

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

@piersmorgan @virendersehwag It doesn't matter how many times you tweet him - he's always going to ignore you. Desperation is ugly Piers.

@piersmorgan I have always respected your opinion but now have started detesting your 'offers.' They are way too 'cheap.' @virendersehwag
