"Didn't Have An Answer": Team Consultant's Brutally Honest Verdict On Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) consultant Adam Voges was left speechless after Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) hard-hitting destroyed his team and handed the visitors a thumping defeat in a one-sided contest in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match.
