Sir Donald Bradman's 1946-47 Ashes series cricket cap has been acquired by the National Museum of Australia for AU$438,500.

Shubman Gill had a remarkable Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. He scored 754 runs, averaging 83.78. Gill hit four centuries, equaling records.

Despite this, Gill's overall performance cemented his legacy.
