Cap worn by Don Bradman during India vs Australia could be sold for over two crore rupees

The Hindu  

A cap worn by Australia’s greatest batsman Don Bradman will be auctioned in Sydney on Tuesday, with the tattered “baggy green” expected to fetch as much as USD 260,000. Australia’s Donald Bradman pulls a ball from Mankad for 4 in the first Test cricket match between India and Australia at Brisbane played from November 28 to December 04, 1947. Bradman retired with an all-time high Test batting average of 99.94, and has been described by cricket authority Wisden as the greatest to “have ever graced the gentleman’s game”. A different “baggy green” worn by Bradman during his Test debut in 1928 fetched USD 290,000 in 2020 -- a then-record for one of the cricket legend’s caps.
