New Delhi: Wiaan Mulder played an unbelievable knock in the second Test between Zimbabwe and South Africa at the Queens Sports Club. Mulder smashed an unbeaten 367 as he made records look like fun during his marathon innings that came off only 334 balls.
Mulder missed out on a golden opportunity to break the 400 world record of Brian Lara as the Proteas declared after the first session on Day 2 with Mulder unbeaten and only 33 short of the magical mark.
The declaration raised many eyebrows as Mulder was within touching distance of breaking Lara’s long-standing record. While he might not have achieved that historic feat, the stand-in South African skipper has created a few other historic records during his jaw-dropping outing.
Highest score in an away Test
Meanwhile, Mulder’s 367 is the highest score ever by a player in an away Test match. The previous record belonged to Pakistan’s Hanif Mohammad, who has hit 337 during the Barbados Test against the West Indies in 1958.
