He was 83.
Redpath died in his hometown of Geelong on Sunday morning after a recent illness.
The former Test cricketer scored 97 on his Australian debut in 1964 and managed three of his eight centuries in his final Test series.
He finished averaging 43.45 from 66 Tests, with a high score of 171 against England in Perth in 1970.
Redpath played 64 first-class matches at the MCG, most of anyone in history.
Commentator Alister Nicholson paid tribute to Redpath ahead of the coverage of the WBBL final.
“Loved this venue, made 11 first-class centuries here at the MCG, played more first-class games than anyone here,” Nicholson explained on Seven.
“He was an icon of the game in the late ‘60s and ‘70s. Condolences to the Redpath family. He will be missed, his contribution never forgotten.”
Redpath was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2023.
