Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) complete a four-player trade ahead of IPL 2027. CSK acquire England all-rounder Liam Livingstone and Australia all-rounder Jack Edwards, while SRH receive India left-arm fast bowler Khaleel Ahmed and Australia pacer Nathan Ellis.
The reported contract terms across outlets indicate Livingstone moves to CSK for INR 6 crore, after being acquired by SRH for INR 13 crore at the 2026 auction. Edwards is reported to stay on INR 3 crore. Khaleel re-joins SRH on INR 4.8 crore, and Ellis is reported at INR 2 crore, with multiple reports noting injury recovery as part of their recent availability.
Some outlets add extra context: ESPNcricinfo focuses on the swap framing from SRH to CSK (including the pay cut), while Yahoo Sports runs a deeper finance/purse-impact explainer and another piece foregrounding how the trade strengthens specific roles. Other reports are more straightforward, listing the players and fee figures without extended rules discussion.
