IND vs AUS Final: The bat with which MS Dhoni hit the 2011 World Cup-winning six at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, has a whopping worth Rs 13 crore today.

The current price of the bat has been revealed by none other than the owner of the bat - Mr. Amit Bhagchandka, the group CEO of financial broking firm R K Global.

"We bought it at a 2011 auction, at that time the price we paid for it was 100,000 pounds (Rs 1 crore approx. today)", Amit Bhagchandka said on India Today.

The bat has seen a massive appreciation in its price. After 12 years, MS Dhoni's bat now has a value of Rs 13 crore approximately.

"We got it appraised recently in January this year from a London-based auction house. They give us an indication of somewhere between 1.3 to 1.4 million pounds."

Further, Amit Bhagchandka said that the "bat is not for sale" even if someone is ready to offer Rs 50 crore for it. However, he added that former India captain MS Dhoni can get it back if he wants.

"He gets it. It's only Mahi who can get this bat back. Else it would be in our custody. I used to watch it everyday after waking up earlier. Now I watch once in two days," Bhagchandka said.

MS Dhoni is set to mark his presence at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, November 19. The BCCI has invited all the World Cup-winning captains for the 'Parade of Champions' in front of the packed stadium.
