Sriranga wasudev sohoni

Sir Don Bradman: A prized Baggy Green cap once worn by Australian cricket icon Sir Don Bradman has been sold for an extraordinary 460,000 Australian dollars (approx Rs 2.92 crore) at an auction on the Gold Coast on Monday, setting a new benchmark for a cap belonging to one of the most celebrated batters of the game.

The cap dates back to the 1947–48 Test series against India and carries a special story beyond its sporting significance. Bradman had personally gifted the cap to Indian cricketer Sriranga Wasudev Sohoni, a gesture that added emotional and historical value to the rare item.

Sohoni’s family safeguarded the cap with remarkable care for more than seven decades, preserving it across three generations.
