Looks like British television personality and journalist Piers Morgan just cannot stop himself from needling Indian Twitter users.
A week back, he incited outrage by taking a dig at India's celebrations over their two medallists at the Rio Olympics, PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik. Morgan's tweet incited a reply from former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, who poked fun at England's inability to win a cricket World Cup despite inventing the game. Then, on Wednesday, no doubt delighted with England's performance in the third One-Day International against Pakistan where they hauled up a world-record total of 444/3, Morgan decided to take the battle further.

Now, if you take a closer look, you will realise that Morgan has tripped himself up a bit this time. It might have escaped his notice, but India have won Olympic gold. Nine times, in fact. Eight of them were won by the men's hockey teams between 1928 and 1980. And of course, Abhinav Bindra won his historic individual gold medal in shooting at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Of course, Morgan was soon reminded of his gaffe, along with the Rs 1 million that he had bet:
Technically you have already lost the bet because India has 9 Gold Medals in Olympics. England WC tally stands at 0. https://t.co/AffeWX6Xm1

An embarrassed Morgan obvious had to back-pedal. He deleted the tweet, but came back with a retracted version:
Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins another Olympic Gold. Accept?

Sehwag has still not responded to Morgan. But a parody account of the cricketer decided to go ahead and take this chance to remind the British television personality about correcting another historical wrong:
.@piersmorgan India Already Has 9 #Gold Medals, England Has Zero WC.
