Australia will be touring India for a series of four Tests and three ODIs starting February 9 onwards. The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Nagpur and both teams will be battling for a place in the finals of the ICC World Test Championship 2023.

Team India is the current holder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, having won 2-1 in 2020-21 in Australia. India also won the last Test series against Australia at home in 2017 and then again in Australia in 2018-19.

Marnus Labuschagne, a part of Pat Cummins' side coming to India, gave a sneak peek to fans about his preparations for the upcoming Test series and received a funny reply from none other than Dinesh Karthik.

Labuschagne shared a photo of his baggage for the India tour and it contained a few kilos of local coffee with the cricketer captioning the post as: "Just a few KG of coffee on its way to Guess how many bags?"

However, this didn’t sit well with Dinesh Karthik, who hails from Tamil Nadu which is known for some fantastic coffee and the Indian cricketer replied: “You get great coffee in India too mate

Not only Karthik, but a few cricket fans on Twitter also got involved and shared some funny replies.
