SA’s Mulder has made headlines with a stunning unbeaten 369 in the second Test against Zimbabwe. His innings broke multiple records and etched his name into cricket history.
Playing in Bulawayo, SA’s Mulder surpassed the long-standing away Test record of 337 set by Hanif Mohammad in 1958. The Pakistan legend held the record for the highest individual score in an away Test for over four decades.
Mulder reached his triple century in just 297 balls, becoming the second fastest to the mark after Virender Sehwag. His innings included 49 boundaries and four sixes, showing complete dominance over the Zimbabwean bowlers.
South Africa declared their innings at 626/5 at lunch on Day 2, with Mulder unbeaten on 369. This became the highest individual Test score by a South African, breaking Hashim Amla’s 311*.
SA’s Mulder also climbed to fifth on the all-time highest individual scores in Test cricket. Only Brian Lara (400* and 375), Matthew Hayden (380), and Mahela Jayawardene (374) have scored more.
His record-breaking knock helped South Africa take full control of the match. With Zimbabwe struggling early in their reply, a big win looks likely.
Mulder’s performance is being praised as one of the finest away Test innings in modern cricket.
