Virender Sehwag gives fitting reply to Piers Morgan's insensitive dig

The social media banter between former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and English journalist Piers Morgan is well known to all. The two individuals have not let go any opportunity to troll each other everytime they sensed one. Recently, the verbal war resurfaced the social media when Piers Morgan came up with an insensitive tweet to indirectly poke fun at Virender Sehwag.

Soon after the India Women team lost the finals of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017 against the England Women, Piers Morgan took to his Twitter account to take a dig at Sehwag. He did not say anything directly but his words hinted a world of expressions. He asked Sehwag if he was alright. “You OK, buddy @virendersehwag? #WWC2017final,” Piers Morgan had tweeted.
