The year 2023 is gonna be a very busy year for the Indian cricket team. While Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the important one for the year, but then there is also the World Test Championship Final that India qualified for after taking a 2-0 lead in the series vs Australia.
India will also play and host the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 to be played later this year. As such, Team India have some important One Day International (ODI) fixtures lined-up for 2023.
The upcoming ODI series vs Australia is also gonna be a vital one. A total of 3 matches are to be played as part of the ODI series.
It has been reported now that Indian umpire Nitin Menon will be one of the umpire and actually he will be umpiring in all 3 matches of the series.

Which is why, with this latest report, the Indian fans are calling Virat Kohli to be careful in all 3 of the ODI matches against the Aussies. Checkout how the Twitterati reacted to the same.
