Get your facts right, Mr Piers Morgan or feel Indian Twitterati's wrath

British journalist Piers Morgan is at it again. And he is still failing at it.

Morgan, who is known for his controversial Twitter posts, was on Tuesday night celebrating the fact that England scored a world record ODI total of 444 against Pakistan. Pakistan slumped to a humiliating 169-run defeat in the third ODI against England to lose the five-match series 0-3.

The TV anchor in his moment of celebration rekindled his war of words on Twitter with former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag. Morgan revived his taunt of India not having won a gold medal at the Olympic Games.

But wait! He didn't get his facts right.

Piers Morgan tweeted this and then had to delete it for being factually wrong

Sehwag had last time hit Morgan for a six with his reply or should we say clean bowled him, after all Viru is still an all-rounder, even it is on Twitter. Unable to let go, the 51-year-old jourtnalist tried to provoke Sehwag into another verbal duel. But this time hwe fell prey to the age-old problem of tweeting without checking,

Morgan's last tweet - which has since been deleted - offered Sehwag a bet. Morgan's now-deleted tweet read - "Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins an Olympic Gold. Accept?"

Indian Twitterati didn't waste time trolling him and letting him know where he had gone wrong.

He posted a revised tweet with the correct information after deleting the original.

He continued egging Sehwag on...

And Twitterati couldn't resist this opportunity of being able to 'teach' the Britisher...
