South Africa Captain Mulder Scores Record 367 Not Out Versus Zimbabwe

Wiaan Mulder, captaining South Africa for the first time, scored an unbeaten 367 against Zimbabwe, marking the highest individual Test score by a South African and the fifth-highest in Test history. Despite being just 33 runs short of Brian Lara's world record of 400 not out, Mulder declared South Africa's innings at 626-5, prioritizing the team's dominant position over a personal milestone. Mulder's triple century was the second fastest in Test cricket history, reached off 297 balls, and featured 49 fours and four sixes. This innings also set the record for the highest individual score in an away Test and made Mulder the first player to score a triple century on Test captaincy debut. His performance helped South Africa enforce the follow-on, with Zimbabwe bowled out for 170 in their first innings. Mulder’s remarkable effort came as South Africa continued their strong form following their recent World Test Championship victory.
