Apart from Virender Sehwag's lovely tweet on Krishna Janmashtami, the former Indian opener took on British journalist Piers Morgan, who taunted India's grand celebration of Rio Olympics medal-winning athletes - wrestler Sakshi Malik and shuttler PV Sindhu.
Sehwag pulled Morgan's tweets out of the mark with his trademark flamboyance.
Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that? https://t.co/FYSBM7ErAf
