Dec 8 : Top-order batter Shubman Gill and all-rounder Hardik Pandya are fit and available for Tuesday's T20 series opener against South Africa, India captain Suryakumar Yadav said on the eve of the match.

Gill, who had been thrown out of action with a neck injury sustained during the opening test against the Proteas, was included in the T20 squad for the five-match series subject to his fitness.

Pandya, who has been active in domestic cricket, is set to return to action after suffering a quadriceps injury in September.

"Both are looking healthy and fit," Suryakumar told reporters in Cuttack on Monday.
