CSK and Sunrisers Hyderabad Complete Four-Player Trade Ahead of IPL 2027
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) completed a four-player trade ahead of IPL 2027, with England all-rounder Liam Livingstone and Australian all-rounder Jack Edwards moving to CSK. Livingstone joins at a reduced fee of Rs 6 crore from Rs 13 crore, while Edwards retains his Rs 3 crore contract. In exchange, SRH acquired left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed and fast bowler Nathan Ellis at their existing fees. Both Khaleel and Ellis had injury-affected 2026 seasons but bring valuable pace options to SRH. The trade aims to reshape both squads before the upcoming IPL auction.
