<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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..."</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>Morgan, who had earlier who faced severe baclash from Indians for mocking the country's performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics,&nbsp;pointed out that the word should have been 'lose' and not 'loose'. He posted, "It's lose".</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p>How could Sehwag's legions sit by quietly after this. They took to the micro-blogging site in droves to troll the Britisher.</p>
