Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have completed a four-player trade ahead of IPL 2027. Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards will play for Chennai, while fast bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis move to Hyderabad.
The deal was announced on November 5 and changes the overseas all-round options at CSK as well as SRH’s pace group.
Livingstone’s revised fee
Livingstone joins Chennai for ₹6 crore, down from the ₹13 crore SRH paid for him. Edwards moves at his existing ₹3 crore fee. The Australian seam-bowling all-rounder missed IPL 2026 with a foot injury and is yet to make his IPL debut.
Two fast bowlers head to Hyderabad
Khaleel returns to a franchise he previously represented from 2018 to 2021. His fee stays at ₹4.8 crore. He took 15 wickets in 14 matches for Chennai in IPL 2025, before an injury-disrupted 2026 campaign limited him to five appearances.
Ellis joins SRH for his existing ₹2 crore fee. The trade therefore brings two pace-bowling options into Hyderabad’s squad while Chennai add Livingstone’s batting and Edwards’ all-round skills.
