We all know what a pain in the ass Piers Morgan has been for Indian Twitter in the past 2 weeks. Remember, when he made fun of us for celebrating P V Sindhu and Sakshi Malik?
Now, before we inform of his epic fail, you have to remember that he is a “respected journalist”, as in an informed and educated person who should be abreast with the news of the times.
Piers Morgan stuck his foot out too far this time when he tweeted this –
For all the cynical Indians, this might have been hurtful. After all, we have just one gold medal from Abhinav Bindra, right?!
WRONG!
While Abhinav Bindra was the first individual to win a gold medal, our men’s hockey team has won 8 gold medals in history.
So that brings the gold tally to 9.
Virendra Sehwag’s parody account, showing awesome presence of mind, gave a fitting reply –
.@piersmorgan India Already Has 9 #Gold Medals, England Has Zero WC.
As Far As Charity Is Concerned, You Already Owe Us Kohinoor. #ENGvPAK— Viru Fan Club (@VirenderrSehwag) August 30, 2016
Piers Morgan deleted the tweet after the embarrassment and rectified it with this one –
Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins another Olympic Gold. Accept?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 30, 2016
Now, let’s jog our memories and recall how many World Cups England has won. ZERO.
The rest of the Indian twitter jumped upon this and let their tweets do the talking.

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

Now that Viru has set the record straight,
WHERE’S THE MONEY PIERS?
