Bengaluru, May 17: Congress leader DK Shivakumar said that if the BJP tried to poach Congress MLA’s, it has to pay for its deed.

Staging a protest in front of the Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday condemning Governor Vajubhai Vala’s ‘unconstitutional’ move, Shivakumar said that BJP cannot prove its majority. If Sriramulu and Janardhan Reddy tried to poach Congress MLA’s, then BJP has to face the consequences. The news that many Congress MLA’s are in contact with the BJP is just a rumour. BJP people have been floating such rumours to create confusion. “If the BJP tried to attract our MLA’s, we have to plunge into the action in our own way”, he warned

Durban, Nov 8: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I here on Friday.

Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202 for 8.

The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs.

Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is.

The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. His first had come in India's last outing against Bangladesh last month.

However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs.

Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.

Brief Scores:

India: 202 for 8 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 107, Tilak Verma 33; Gerald Coetzee 3/37)

South Africa: 141 all out in 17.5 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 25; Varun Chakaravarthy 3/25, Ravi Bishnoi 3/28)
