Bradman scored an astonishing 715 runs in six innings, averaging 178.75. The series also saw him achieve 100 first-class centuries, a first for an Australian player, as he led the hosts to a 4-0 victory in the five-test series.<br \/>\nAt the tour\u2019s conclusion, Bradman gifted the cap to India\u2019s team manager, Pankaj \u201cPeter\u201d Gupta, who later passed it to wicketkeeper PK Sen. The previous owner acquired the cap in 2003, and since 2010, it had been on loan to the Bradman Museum in Bowral, Bradman\u2019s hometown.<br \/>\nSydney auction house Bonhams, which listed the cap with an estimated value of A$300,000-A$400,000, confirmed its sale to an Australian buyer.<br \/>\nThis surpasses the A$450,000 fetched by Bradman\u2019s 1928 debut test cap in 2020 but falls short of the over A$1 million raised by Shane Warne\u2019s baggy green in aid of bushfire relief.<br \/>\nBradman, regarded as the greatest batsman in cricket history and one of Australia\u2019s finest captains, retired with an unparalleled test batting average of 99.94 across 52 matches.<br \/>\nThe sale coincides with India\u2019s current five-test tour of Australia, where the visitors lead 1-0 ahead of the second match at Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MELBOURNE A sun-faded and insect-damaged cricket cap once worn by Don Bradman has been sold for A$479,700 (\u00a3311,000), setting a record for caps associated with the Australian cricket legend.
