'We Know The Job Isnt Done Yet', Says Patil Ahead Of Maharaja Trophy's High-stakes Bengaluru Leg
Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20: Ahead of the commencement of high-stakes Bengaluru leg of Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, Bengaluru Blasters batter Rohan Patil has cautioned his team against complacency, stating that the job isnt done yet despite securing the pole position in the points table and sealing a playoffs spot. The marquee tournament shifts to the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, starting from the double header on Sunday. While the Blasters have the top spot in firm hand, a fierce battle lies ahead for the remaining five franchises, who are separated by a mere two points in the race for the final three playoff berths. Weve been playing really good cricket as a team. Weve found ourselves in a few close situations this season, but weve consistently found a way to get over the line, which says a lot about the character of the group. Finishing at the top of the table gives us the added advantage of an extra opportunity to reach the final, but we know the job isnt done yet and well stay focused on whats ahead, Patil, who has amassed 269 runs in eight innings, said in a statement on Saturday. The crucial Bengaluru leg kicks off the afternoon fixture at 2pm seeing the Blasters clash with Mysore Warriors, followed by a night game at 7:30pm between Shivamogga Yodhas and Hubli Tigers. Mysore Warriors enter the capital city on the back of consecutive victories. Highlighting the collective team effort, their star all-rounder Ritesh Bhatkal, who has contributed 214 runs and eight wickets, said, We're pleased to have finished the Hubballi leg on a strong note. I think we're definitely peaking at the right time in the tournament. Whenever I've contributed with the bat, it's been about building important partnerships, and with the ball, it's been possible because the entire bowling unit has consistently been among the wickets. That creates pressure from both ends and gives everyone the opportunity to make an impact. Meanwhile, current Orange Cap holder and Shivamogga Yodhas vice-captain Luvnith Sisodia (278 runs) talked about the influence of the added leadership responsibilities he has taken up this season. Ive been feeling good with my batting, and this season Ive taken on more responsibility within the team as Vice-Captain. My focus has been on batting according to the situation and taking the game deep, because I know I have the ability to accelerate at any stage of the innings. Im pleased to be contributing with runs, but more importantly, were in a good position as a team. Our immediate focus is on securing qualifications, and then well take it one game at a time, he said. Ive been feeling good with my batting, and this season Ive taken on more responsibility within the team as Vice-Captain.

Housr Introduces Zero-Deposit Rentals for Residents Across India
Housr, one of the largest premium co-living operators in the country, today went live with a new zero-deposit renting product powered by CirclePe. This one-of-a-kind product enables residents to move in without paying a security deposit, eliminating one of the biggest upfront barriers to renting and making move-ins simpler, more convenient, and financially accessible. Deepak Anand, Co-founder and CEO, Housr The product addresses one of the biggest pain points in rental housing: the security deposit. Tenants typically lock up months of savings when they move in, creating a significant upfront financial burden. With CirclePe's financing layer embedded into Housr's resident management app platform, residents can now skip the large upfront security deposit and instead pay a small monthly amount, making the move-in process more flexible, seamless, and affordable. Commenting on this innovative financing rollout, Deepak Anand, Co-founder and CEO, Housr , said, "Housr has always focused on making premium living more seamless for residents, and this partnership takes that experience a step further. By removing the deposit barrier and enabling seamless tech integration inside our app, we are making move-ins simpler for our customers." India's co-living market is set to grow fivefold to Rs. 200 billion by 2030 according to a report by Colliers - yet it's built on a rental system where a Bengaluru tenant can lock up to Rs. 2 lakh in their security deposit before moving into a single flat, with a similar situation existing across other key metros that are home to India's largest working professional population. As the market continues to evolve, zero-deposit renting helps remove one of the biggest barriers to moving into a new home, creating a more seamless and financially accessible rental experience for residents. With this rollout, Housr is helping bring zero-deposit renting into the mainstream of premium living, making the rental experience more accessible, convenient, and resident-friendly.
