The BCCI on Wednesday retained the same 17-member squad for the remaining two Test matches against South Africa.

The two teams will face off next in the third Test in Nagpur beginning on November 25. India holds a 1-0 lead in the series after beating South Africa by 108 runs in the first Test in Mohali.

The second Test between India and South Africa at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore has been called off after rain washed out the fifth day's play. It was the fourth successive day of the Test during which not a single ball was bowled.

Team India for the remaining two Test matches:

Virat Kohli (capt), Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, KL Rahul, Stuart Binny, Varun Aaron, Ishant Sharma and Gurkeerat Singh Mann.
