Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans have questioned the franchise\u2019s decision to trade Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards. <\/p>\n

As confirmed by iplt20.com<\/a><\/em>, Khaleel and Ellis will join SRH at their existing fees of INR 4.8 crore and 2 crore respectively. England all-rounder Livingstone will join CSK at a reduced fee of INR 6 crore, down from INR 13 crore. Australia all-rounder Edwards joins at his existing fee of INR 3 crore.<\/p>\n

Edwards will be looking to make a mark in IPL 2027 after a foot injury ruled him out of the 2026 season. Livingstone is seeking consistency as he has shown only glimpses of his best in the IPL and has struggled to make an impact in recent seasons. Since the start of 2024, the all-rounder has scored 238 runs at an average of 17 and strike rate of 127.3.<\/p>\n

\u201cSRH have easily won this trade\u201d \u2013 Fans question CSK decision-making in four-player trade<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fans online have questioned CSK\u2019s decision-making. While there is still time to build a strong squad for IPL 2027, trading two first-choice bowlers has been met with criticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cKhaleel was the best bowler of CSK & Ellis has been consistent over the years for Australia, how can you gift two quality bowlers, very poor,\u201d wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would you even trade two of your main XII bowlers, out of which one is an Indian for two from their bench and both being overseas options? Can only pray whatever they\u2019ve planned in their minds come off good or else it\u2019s going to be funny couple of months,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the reactions.<\/p>\n

SHOCKING, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE CSK \"\u274c\"<\/p>\n

They have given Khaleel Ahmed & Nathan Ellis to SRH for trading Liam Livingstone & Jack Edwards.<\/p>\n

This has to be one of the most bizarre trade deals in IPL history.<\/p>\n

SRH have played this incredibly smart. Meanwhile, CSK seem to have made a fool of themselves.<\/p>\n

SRH have let go of two players who don’t even fit into their ecosystem and are getting Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/nokcQtXUSp<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellis wanted to leave i suppose but we could have negotiated a way better trade tbf. Especially when we are giving a indian pacer should have got someone like Harsh Dube.<\/p>\n

CSK surprised everyone. Everyone thought they can only have bad auction, but they went a step further and came up with a trade I wish to forget. \"\ud83d\udd25\"\"\ud83d\udd25\"\"\ud83d\udd25\"<\/p>\n

Trading Nathan Ellis away!? What kind of absolute brain-dead decision is this!? Who the heck is making these ridiculous calls at CSK!? Just ban this team for the next 10 years, someone. \"\ud83d\ude2d\" They have absolutely no business running a cricket franchise!<\/p>\n
