Hardik Pandya named in India squad for South Africa T20Is
Hardik Pandya returns to the T20I set-up in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. That is the only change from the squad that defeated West Indies 3-0 earlier this month.
Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested from the limited-overs contests against West Indies, has not been included in the squad.
"He's good at varying his lengths, depending on the surfaces and batsmen."

Lots of praise for India's Jasprit Bumrah after his performance in the first Test! https://t.co/LGfpQ1chu8
The first T20I will take place on 15 September in Dharamsala before the series moves to Mohali three days later. The final T20I will take place on 22 September in Bengaluru.
