New Delhi: Piers Morgan is back in the news after daring Virender Sehwag to accept a Rs 10 lakh bet. (Virender Sehwag vs Piers Morgan: Viru knocks out British journalist again - This time without naming him)
The controversial British journalist believes England will win a ICC World Cup before India win another Olympic gold medal.
Morgan took to social micro-blogging site Twitter to stir the pot on Tuesday after England's record-breaking batting display against Pakistan in the 3rd ODI.
Hi @virendersehwag, I bet you 1 million rupees to charity that England wins a ODI World Cup before India wins another Olympic Gold. Accept?

Interestingly, this wasn't Morgan's initial tweet. The 51-year-old was probably not aware that India had already won golds in hockey and shooting.
He deleted his original tweet and then went on to add the word 'another gold' in his next post.
This is hilarious. An embarrassed @PiersMorgan deletes his tweet after realising that India already has 9 golds. pic.twitter.com/r2Y4CvXSPJ

Morgan however defended himself in typical fashion.
a) I knew that.
b) You know I knew that.
c) Everybody knows you know I knew that.

Now that Morgan also cleared the air, the ball is in Viru's court. Will the flamboyant former India opener accept the challenge?
