There’s simply no stopping South Africa’s new Test skipper Wiaan Mulder, who continues to rewrite the record books with a knock that has left cricket fans in awe. Facing Zimbabwe in what has become a one-sided contest, Mulder was unbeaten on a monumental 367* at the Lunch break on Day 2, and looks well on course to challenge Brian Lara’s legendary 400*—a feat few dare to dream of.

The 26-year-old has dismantled a struggling Zimbabwean bowling attack with clinical precision, blending flair with composure. In doing so, he has already achieved multiple milestones. Mulder has surpassed Hanif Mohammad’s 337 to register the highest individual score in an away Test—an extraordinary record in itself.

That wasn’t all. En route to his triple-century, Wiaan Mulder also went past Hashim Amla’s 311, claiming the record for the highest individual Test score by a South African. He now joins Amla as only the second Protea to score a triple ton in Tests.

What makes this innings more special is the backdrop. Wiaan Mulder was promoted to No. 3 only recently, during the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s—a game where he failed to leave an impact. Though South Africa won the title, questions lingered about his long-term role.

But his performance in this Test series has silenced all doubts. After scoring 17 and 147 in the two innings of the previous Test and taking 4/50 with the ball, Mulder has followed it up with a captain’s knock of historic proportions. It’s not just redemption—it’s a statement. And if he keeps going, we might just witness one of the greatest innings in Test history.
