1947–48 Donald Bradman Baggy Green – An Australian Treasure!

Unveil a piece of cricketing history with this stunning 1947–48 Australian Baggy Cap, crafted by Farmer’s Sydney and adorned with the Australian Coat of Arms. Inscribed with the iconic names “D.G. Bradman” and “S.W. Sohoni” on the interior label, this rare gem was gifted to Indian cricketer S.W. Sohoni during the epic 1947–48 Australia vs. India Test series. Cherished in the family collection ever since, this cap links you to Don Bradman’s invincible era and a memorable exchange with the Indian squad.

The 1947–48 series marked India's first Test tour of Australia as an independent nation, shortly after gaining independence in August 1947. Led by Lala Amarnath, the Indian team faced a formidable Australian side captained by Don Bradman, in what was his final home Test series. Australia dominated, winning 4–0 with one match drawn. This was part of the post-World War II revival of international cricket.
