English sports journalist Piers Morgan was yet action in action today on Twitter and may have possibly dragged his dear friend Virender Sehwag in a social convo.

Morgan was in his humorous mood today and replied to one of Sehwag’s tweet in a sarcastic manner. Viru, who is currently in England for charity reason, recently made a visit to the Arsenal home venue – The Emirates Stadium.’

“At the Arsenal dressing room. Great experience.”

Morgan looked all but excited watching Sehwag in the Arsenal dressing room. He felt that Arsenal needed the services of the former cricketers and urged him to stay over and show up tomorrow for the game saying.

“Can you stay in there & play up front tomorrow? We need some explosive firepower,” he tweeted.

The duo recently had a prolonged Twitter banter between them. It won’t be wrong to say that it was a war of words. A series of tweets with intended puns were aimed at each other trying to troll one another grabbed a lot of attention in the social media circles.

All the fuss began when Morgan criticised the Indian Olympic team for their dismal show at the Rio Olympics. he said that it was only embarrassing to be celebrating just two medals in a nation of one billion.

He had Tweeted, ‘Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that?’
