Marnus Labuschagne, one of Australia's star batsmen in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against India, has announced the retirement of his iconic bat. This was the same bat that Labuschagne used to score a patient 58 off 110 balls in the final. His innings, combined with Travis Head's aggressive approach, led Australia to a memorable win at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19.
