Chennai Super Kings have released fast bowler Nathan Ellis ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season as part of a trade deal with Sunrisers Hyderabad, prompting strong criticism from fans on social media.
The move, reported by The Cricket News on November 5, 2026, has drawn backlash from CSK supporters who questioned the decision to let go of the Australian pacer.
Ellis, who has represented Australia in T20 internationals, was acquired by CSK in a previous season. The trade details between the two franchises were not fully disclosed.
