Why these trades happened
Pant to Delhi. Lucknow paid a record ₹27 crore for Rishabh Pant at the 2025 auction. He returns to Delhi Capitals, where he played from 2016 to 2024, at ₹15 crore, ₹12 crore less than his auction price. LSG finished last in 2026; Pant scored 312 runs in 14 matches. Kuldeep Yadav moves the other way on his existing ₹13.50 crore.
Natarajan back to Hyderabad. The left-arm seamer played for SRH from 2020 to 2024 and returns at ₹5 crore, down from ₹10.75 crore. Delhi get leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari at ₹40 lakh.
CSK and SRH. Liam Livingstone joins CSK at ₹6 crore, less than half the ₹13 crore SRH paid. Jack Edwards, an Australian seam-bowling all-rounder, also goes to Chennai at ₹3 crore; he missed IPL 2026 with a foot injury. Khaleel Ahmed, who took 15 wickets for CSK in 2025 and played five matches in 2026 before a quadriceps injury, returns to SRH at ₹4.8 crore with Nathan Ellis at ₹2 crore.
Hardik for Arshdeep. The largest trade of the window: Hardik Pandya leaves Mumbai Indians for Punjab Kings and Arshdeep Singh goes the other way, both at ₹18 crore.
