Former India opener and current commentator Virender Sehwag celebrates his 38th birthday today. But his over-eager fans thought they would get him his birthday gift a day in advance.
So what did they get him? Well, Sehwag has gained quite a large fandom fon Twitter because of his witty one-liners and celebrating birthdays with wrong 'uns.
On Thursday night, the Indian kabaddi team thrashed England to enter the World Cup semi-finals. The Delhi dasher celebrated the win in his usual style by deciding to troll all England sports sides. 'Celebrating' England's poor run in a World Cup yet again, though this time the sport wasn't football or cricket, but kabaddi, saw Viru paji post, "England loose in a World Cup again. Only the sport changes. This time it's Kabaddi..."
England loose in a World Cup again.Only the sport changes.This time it's Kabaddi.

This seemed to get British journalist and his 'online arch-nemesis' Pier Morgan riled up. Morgan, who has battled Sehwag time and again on Twitter, decided to correct the former cricketer's spelling this time around.
Morgan, who had earlier who faced severe baclash from Indians for mocking the country's performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics, pointed out that the word should have been 'lose' and not 'loose'. He posted, "It's lose".
It's 'lose'. https://t.co/QAiUHfI2ft

How could Sehwag's legions sit by quietly after this. They took to the micro-blogging site in droves to troll the Britisher.
HERE'S WHAT VIRU'S ARMY HAD TO SAY:
@piersmorgan Eng were bound to'lose'as they played a'loose'match. Since Brexit they are quick to find an 'exit' everywhere @virendersehwag

It seems Morgan's Twitter war with Viru isn't over yet.
