Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday completed a blockbuster four-player IPL trade with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), hogging all the limelight as the IPL trade window approaches its end.
As Sunrisers Hyderabad make moves, all the interest among fans gets into the subject of how the Orange Army made trades in the past with different IPL franchises. Here, in this article, we take a look at all the little details regarding IPL trade deals done by SRH.
Liam Livingstone, Jack Edwards Out, Khaleel Ahmed, Nathan Ellis In (Before IPL 2027)
- SRH hit a jackpot by signing Nathan Ellis and Khaleel Ahmed. While Khaleel played four consecutive seasons for SRH, between 2018 and 2021, it would be Ellis’ third IPL franchise, after Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings.
- In return, SRH had to give CSK Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards, who were not their regulars anyway.
Zeeshan Ansari Out, T Natarajan In (Before IPL 2027)
- In another move, SRH brought T Natarajan back into their mix last month. In return, they traded Zeeshan Ansari to Delhi Capitals.
Mohammed Shami In For INR 10 Crore (Before IPL 2026)
- SRH broke the bank during the IPL 2026 trade window, spending as much as INR 10 crore to secure the services of Mohammed Shami, who won the Purple Cap in IPL 2023. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) received the money from SRH.
Shikhar Dhawan Out, Abhishek Sharma, Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem In (Before IPL 2019)
- In the move which later turned out to be the most significant one, SRH acquired Abhishek Sharma via a trade deal with Delhi Capitals. The deal also involved Vijay Shankar and Shahbaz Nadeem coming their way, while Shikhar Dhawan went in the other direction.
KL Rahul Out For INR 1 Crore (Before IPL 2016)
- After two seasons in IPL 2014 and 2015, SRH gave KL Rahul to RCB for just INR 1 crore. It turned out to be a massive blunder, as Rahul, over time, emerged to be one of the most consistent batters of all time in the competition.
