Cooped up at home, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is using the time to share some of his career memorabilia on social media, and the ace batsman started with his 2003 World Cup final bat.
"Given we've all got a bit of time on our hands as we stay at home, thought I'd go through what I've kept from my career and share some of it with everyone on a regular basis -- this is the bat I used in the 2003 World Cup final," Ponting said in a tweet with the picture of the bat.
On March 23, 2003, Ponting led Australia to the World Cup title by scoring an unbeaten 140 as his marauding side won by 125 runs against India skippered by Sourav Ganguly in Johannesburg.
