Don Bradman wore the "baggy green" cap during India's first tour of Australia as an independent country in 1947-48, scoring 715 runs in six innings at an average of 178.75.
A piece of cricketing history -- the bat used by the legendary Donald Bradman in the 1934 Ashes series with which he scored two triple centuries is up for auction.
The coach also launched a book 'India's 71-Year Test: The Journey to Triumph in Australia'.
"He rated Indians much ahead of the Australians in terms of passion for the game," said the Don's friend Richard Mulvaney.
The blazer worn by Australian cricketing great Donald Bradman during his first series as Test captain sold for A$132,000 ($91,410.00) on Monday, local media reported.
The price eclipsed the A$425,000 achieved by the late Don Bradman's baggy green when it was sold in 2003.
