For Chennai Super Kings, his form will certainly be encouraging ahead of IPL 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis missed the entire IPL 2026 season due to a hamstring injury, leaving CSK without one of their key overseas pace options. However, the 31-year-old has now returned to full fitness and is once again showing why he is considered a highly effective white-ball bowler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across his last four ODIs for Australia, Ellis has picked up 12 wickets, using his slower deliveries, variations and yorkers effectively.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-ad article-ad--first\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><span class=\"article-ad__label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His recent performances against Zimbabwe and South Africa have been particularly impressive.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nathan Ellis Dominates Zimbabwe With Ball and Bat<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis started his impressive run during Australia\u2019s three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe in Harare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the opening ODI, the right-arm pacer produced his maiden international five-wicket haul, finishing with outstanding figures of 5 for 31.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His spell helped Australia bowl Zimbabwe out for 235 and register a 59-run victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis continued to make an impact throughout the series and finished the three matches with nine wickets, making him one of Australia\u2019s biggest performers with the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, his contribution was not limited to bowling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the third and final ODI, Australia found themselves in serious trouble while chasing 272. With the recognised batters back in the pavilion, Ellis took responsibility in the lower order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He remained unbeaten on 36 from 44 deliveries and shared an unbeaten 27-run partnership for the final wicket with Spencer Johnson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With nine runs required from the final over, Ellis struck a crucial six and helped Australia complete a dramatic one-wicket victory with just one ball remaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The win also completed a 3-0 ODI series sweep for Australia.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nathan Ellis Continues Red-Hot Form Against South Africa<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis carried the same confidence into the opening ODI against South Africa at Kingsmead in Durban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bowling first change, the Australian pacer made an immediate impact by dismissing Quinton de Kock with the very first ball of his spell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De Kock edged the delivery behind, where wicketkeeper Josh Inglis completed the catch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis then returned to dismiss David Miller with an excellent caught-and-bowled effort. The Australian showed sharp reflexes in his follow-through to complete the catch and send the dangerous South African batter back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Ellis still had another important wicket left.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-ad article-ad--middle\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><span class=\"article-ad__label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/aside>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marco Jansen was putting Australia\u2019s bowlers under pressure with an aggressive knock of 75 from 59 balls. Ellis eventually ended his innings with a full and straight delivery in the 49th over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jansen attempted to play across the line but missed and was trapped LBW.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis finished with figures of 3 for 57 from his 10 overs as South Africa posted 297 for 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance took his tally to 12 wickets from his last four ODIs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nathan Ellis\u2019 Recent ODI Bowling Figures<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ellis\u2019 numbers underline just how well he has been bowling recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Last four ODIs: 12 wickets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His run includes a maiden international five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe and another three-wicket performance against South Africa in Durban.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More importantly, Ellis has been taking wickets at different stages of the innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He can operate during the powerplay, use his variations through the middle overs and deliver yorkers and slower balls at the death. That versatility makes him a valuable option in white-ball cricket.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">12 wickets in his last 4 ODIs!<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Ellis carries his red-hot form into the series opener against South Africa and delivers once again! \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: FanCode<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/SAvsAUS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">#SAvsAUS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2DY3fTmSKS\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/2DY3fTmSKS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CricInformer (@CricInformer) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CricInformer\/status\/2103104431202148686?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">September 24, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nathan Ellis IPL 2027 Return Could Be Important for CSK<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nathan Ellis\u2019 recent form is also good news for Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Australian pacer was ruled out of IPL 2026 before the start of the tournament after suffering a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His absence meant CSK could not use a bowler who has built a strong reputation for his variations and death-over skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Ellis is back playing international cricket and producing wickets regularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His ability to change pace, bowl cutters and execute yorkers gives CSK a different option in their pace attack, particularly during the closing stages of an innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is still plenty of cricket to be played before IPL 2027, but Ellis\u2019 current performances will certainly be encouraging for CSK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 12 wickets from his last four ODIs, Nathan Ellis is making a strong case with his performances ahead of IPL 2027.<\/p>\n<section id=\"ci-article-share\" aria-labelledby=\"ci-share-heading\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/nathan-ellis-fires-warning-to-ipl-rivals-in-2027\/\" data-title=\"CSK Star Nathan Ellis Sends Stern IPL Warning With Red-Hot Bowling Form\" data-copied=\"Link copied!\" data-manual=\"Select and copy the article link below.\">\n<h2 id=\"ci-share-heading\" class=\"ci-share__heading\">Share this article<\/h2>\n<p>\n        <label for=\"ci-share-link\">Article link<\/label><br \/>\n        <input id=\"ci-share-link\" type=\"text\" readonly=\"readonly\" value=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/nathan-ellis-fires-warning-to-ipl-rivals-in-2027\/\"\/>\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"ci-content-follow\" aria-labelledby=\"ci-follow-heading\">\n<div class=\"ci-follow__strip\">\n<h2 id=\"ci-follow-heading\" class=\"ci-follow__heading\">Get cricket updates.
