The first match of this series will be played in Nagpur for which both the teams have started preparations. The Visitors will face India in 4-match test series followed by 3-ODIs. Amid these preparations, the Indian team's wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik teased fans on Thursday with a tweet. He took to Twitter and wrote on it that he would be doing it again.

Dinesh Karthik shared a tweet on his Twitter account on 2 February. In he wrote, “I made my Test debut against Australia in India. And now it's going to happen again." After this tweet surfaced, fans are speculating that Dinesh is going to be seen playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

But this tweet is more related to his off-field job where he will be a part of the commentary team during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He will be doing commentary in a Test match for the first time, which is why he has described it as his second debut. Karthik has been included in the Star Sports team for this series.
