India 4-0 England: Piers Morgan ‏hails Virat Kohli's brilliant team; wants Kevin Pietersen to replace Alastair Cook

New Delhi: Moments after India completed a 4-0 drubbing of England in their five-match series on Tuesday, celebrated British journalist Piers Morgan hailed Virat Kohli and his brilliant team.

Morgan, known as former India opener Virender Sehwag's bete noire, took to Twitter to hailed the victorious team while deriding England team. In the tweet, he also called for England captain Alastair Cook's head.

On the final day of fifth and final Test match at Chennai's iconic Chepauk, Ravindra Jadeja wrecked havoc, taking seven English wickets to give India an innings an 75-run win.

Later in the day, Morgan in a separate tweet said that banning Kevin Pietersen was a massive mistake from ECB and his message was to clearly replace Cook with KP.

He wrote, in response to a question from a from a fan.

No, but I told Strauss 2 weeks ago that banning KP for life was an unprecedented act of malice & a massive mistake - as we can now see. https://t.co/roAPmY5NyX — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

I'm sure Kevin Pietersen would be in your Top5 though, right? https://t.co/a09yRrkdw8 — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

There's no thinking to be done, sunshine. Resign. https://t.co/9SABtaStZZ — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

He's earned the same right he gave KP - to be ruthlessly stabbed in the back. https://t.co/is6jfAl4pE — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

You've gone a bit quiet, Andrew @flintoff11 - busy wiping that egg off your face? #INDvENG — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

England's definitely 'moved on' from Kevin Pietersen - from No1 in the world to global cricket laughing stock. #BringBackKP — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

All over. A 4-0 drubbing.
Congrats @imVkohli & his brilliant India team.
What a disgraceful capitulation by England.
Cook OUT. #INDvENG — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 20, 2016

Interestingly, KP was let go by his Indian Premier League franchise recently, and many England fans argued that the former captain may not, at all, save the their team.

The visitors collapsed from 103 without loss to 207 all out on a Chennai top, which many considered a top-class sporting pitch. England have now lost six of their last eight Tests.

After India won the series in Mumbai, Chennai Test was reduced to a dead rubber. But both the teams produced brilliant five days of Test cricket, which witnessed 1443 runs being scored with India posting their biggest ever innings total.

The match will also be remembered for Karun Nair, who became only the second Indian batsman to score a triple-hundred after Sehwag.
