Cricket's Holy Grail: Bradman Cap Fetches $460K

Sir Donald Bradman's revered Baggy Green cap was recently auctioned for an impressive $460,000, with a commitment for it to stay within Australia. This significant piece of cricketing memorabilia was worn by the legendary batsman during the 1947-48 Test series against India, which notably marked India's first Test series after gaining independence.

The cap holds particular historical weight as it was donned by Bradman during his last Test matches played on Australian soil before his retirement in 1948. He achieved remarkable success during this series, scoring 715 runs.

This particular Baggy Green was originally gifted by Bradman to Indian bowler Sriranga Wasudev Sohoni during the series. For over 75 years, the cap was carefully preserved by Sohoni's family in Mumbai. It was recently displayed publicly across Australia before its auction.
