A cap worn by Australia`s greatest batsman Don Bradman will be auctioned in Sydney on Tuesday, with the tattered `baggy green` expected to fetch as much as US$260,000.

Bradman donned the woollen cap during India`s 1947-48 tour of Australia, which marked the touring side`s first Tests on foreign soil after gaining independence. Auction house Bonhams said it was `the only known baggy green` worn by Bradman during one of his most prolific series.
