BREAKING: CSK and SRH Complete Stunning Trade Deal Involving 4 Players Ahead of IPL 2027 Auction

The move sends Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards to CSK and returns Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis to SRH, with fees unchanged or reduced.

  • On Thursday, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad completed a four-player trade ahead of the Indian Premier League 2027 season. Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards moved to Chennai, while Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis joined Hyderabad.
  • Following contrasting IPL 2026 campaigns, both franchises aim to reshape their squads. SRH finished third with 18 points before an Eliminator defeat, while CSK finished eighth and missed the playoffs entirely.
  • Livingstone joins CSK at a reduced fee of INR 6 crore, alongside Edwards for Rs 3 crore. SRH secured Khaleel for Rs 4.8 crore and Ellis for Rs 2 crore to strengthen pace-bowling resources.
  • Khaleel returns to his former franchise, having claimed 15 wickets in 14 matches for CSK during 2025. CSK also appointed former India pacer Zaheer Khan as head coach, replacing long-serving Stephen Fleming.
  • These roster changes precede the official IPL retention announcement scheduled for November 17. Both franchises are actively finalizing lineups as they prepare for the 2027 season.
