By IANS News July 07, 2025 • 16:10 PM View: 785

Queens Sports Club: Wiaan Mulder etched his name into South African cricket folklore with a historic 300-plus knock in the second Test against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.

The 27-year-old all-rounder, captaining for the first time in the red-ball format in the absence of Keshav Maharaj, converted his unbeaten 264 from Day 1 into a magnificent triple century on Monday, having reached 367 not out by lunch which is now the highest individual score by a South African in Test history.
