Legendary Australian batsman Greg Chappell has lost his only baggy green cap, leaving the former captain very sad.

Greg revealed the disappearance of the baggy green cap in an interview.

He said, “We had stored the equipment in one place for 10 years, and it had this cap; when we moved to Adelaide, we noticed that the cap was not in the luggage. I don’t know what happened, but I’m very sad; it’s a souvenir for me that I don’t have anymore.”

He received more than one baggy green cap during his career. He gifted one to Jeffrey Boycott; it was later auctioned for $15,000. Greg had only one baggy cap left.

He scored 24 centuries in 87 Test matches in the 70s and 80s, making him one of Australia’s greatest batters.

Former Australian cricketer David Warner also lost his green cap last year when he was playing his last test match, but later he got his green cap back.

The Baggy Green Cap is a green loose-fitting cap that has been given to Australian Test cricketers as a tradition since the 20th century and is held in high regard by Australian cricketers.
