Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards moved from SRH to CSK, while Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis moved the other way in a trade ahead of the December 16, 2027 auction.
Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards have moved from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Chennai Super Kings, while Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis have moved from Chennai Super Kings to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The trade window is open ahead of the December 16, 2027 auction. Khaleel Ahmed returns to Sunrisers Hyderabad after five years away.
Former SRH batter Tirumalasetti Suman said Pat Cummins' availability is 50-50. Kris Srikkanth called Liam Livingstone an ordinary bowler and questioned the trade.
Pat Cummins returns to the SRH armband after a fitness-forced layoff, taking the reins from interim captain Ishan Kishan.
