Piers Morgan at it again, this time over India's Kabaddi win; Sehwag lobs it back

The Twitter battle between Piers Morgan and Virender Sehwag doesn't look like it's going to end. 

From our online archive

Virender Sehwag’s long-standing Twitter feud with Piers Morgan resurfaced after the former posted a tweet congratulating the Indian kabaddi team for its victory. Sehwag is known for his witty and sarcastic tweets over all sorts of issues, and his feed features a collection of the boldest, yet funny tweets. 

It all started when Virender Sehwag put up a tweet celebrating the Indian kabaddi team's win against England in the kabaddi world championship.

"England loose in a World Cup again. Only the sport changes. This time it's Kabaddi. India thrash them 69-18. All the best for semis #INDvENG," the cricketer tweeted.

British journalist Piers Morgan tweeted back correcting the cricketer’s grammar: "It's lose."

India won the kabaddi World Cup last night, following which Virender Sehwag did not waste an opportunity to take a shot at Morgan. 

Of course, Morgan had to respond. 

The infamously-famous Sehwag-Morgan rivalry started when the journalist made fun of Sehwag’s tweet congratulating the Indian Olympic medalists. 

Since then, both sports personalities have taken digs at each other and have armed themselves with an array of witty comebacks. 

Nobody’s complaining though, it all makes an interesting read for the rest of us.
