Bradman had gifted the cap to Ranga Sohoni, who had played one of the five Tests that India played on the tour. “That’s over three generations under lock and key.

Sohoni” inscribed on the inside, is in good condition. Another cap worn by Bradman was sun-faded and insect-damaged when it fetched $311,000 at auction in 2024. Widely …
