Rajneesh Gupta figures out the Indian ODI and T20 sides for the South Africa series.
Young and talented Punjab all-rounder Gurkeerat Singh Mann has earned his maiden call-up to India's One-Day International side while Karnataka left-arm seamer Srinath Aravind was a surprise inclusion in the Twenty20 squad against South Africa.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was back at the helm while senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was retained in the T20 squad. Leg-spinner Amit Mishra's good show against Sri Lanka was rewarded as he found a place in both squads.
Meet India's team for the limited overs' series against South Africa.
