If there’s one cricketer who has been hitting sixes off the field too, it’s Virender Sehwag whose witty tweets kept us entertained all of last year. Ending the year on a happy note, Viru asked his fans what their favourite tweets/moments with him were. 

Tweet the best moments you had with me this year. How did I contribute to joy in your life ?
Please share tweet screenshots, moments u liked

And guess who thanked him? Piers Morgan, the British journalist who made news when he tweeted to Sehwag and tried to troll Indians celebrating PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik’s silver and bronze medals at the Rio Olympics. 

You got me trending in India for days & 1000s of new followers. Thanks mate. https://t.co/yc4bhL1Hwc

Wasting no time, Viru Paaji came up with yet another ambiguous comeback, laced with all the sweetness he could gather:

Cheers! India has a big heart .
Enjoy ! https://t.co/BEwgLQj3N8

Well, India does. It forgave Piers Morgan! 

Just to refresh your memory, earlier this year, Piers had tweeted this: 

Sehwag was not one to take things lying down and got back at Morgan with the most epic reply:

.@piersmorgan India Already Has 9 #Gold Medals, England Has Zero WC.
As Far As Charity Is Concerned, You Already Owe Us Kohinoor. #ENGvPAK

Piers Morgan had a difficult time fielding the trolls after that.
