Suryakumar Yadav will captain the side in T20Is.
Surya is currently leading the team in the T20I series against Australia.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh have also been selected.

The pace unit will be led by Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh.
The series begins on December 10 with the first match in Durban.
