Shubman Gill's Lord's Test jersey bags a 5.41 Lakhs prize money at the 'Red For Ruth' charity auction.

India's newly-appointed Test skipper Shubman Gill is in the form of his life. As a young captain for Team India, he couldn't have asked for a better start to his international test career. Following a historic 2-2 series draw at the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, Gill is never really far away from making headlines. For a change, the recent surge in his popularity this time around does not have to do with his on-field exploits but his prestigious white jersey, which he donned during the epic Lord's Test. 

In the recently concluded 'Red For Ruth' charity auction, Gill signed and match-worn India Test jersey from the third Test of the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy was sold for a galloping 5.41 lakh (around £4,600), becoming the most expensive Indian item to be sold in the Red For Ruth charity auction in 2025. The jersey was unwashed and sold as is, with visible signs of wear, and was classified as a rare item in the auction.
