South Africa’s stand-in captain Wiaan Mulder has made history by becoming the first captain in Test cricket to score a triple century. 

 

He achieved this incredible milestone against Zimbabwe on the second day of the second Test in Bulawayo.

 

Mulder was unstoppable after scoring 264 runs on the first day and became the first captain ever to score a triple century in Test cricket. He reached his 300 in just 297 balls, making it the second-fastest triple century ever in Tests. Only Virender Sehwag’s 278-ball triple ton was faster.

 

Mulder’s innings were full of attacking shots, including 41 fours and three sixes. This is now the most boundaries ever hit by a South African in a single Test innings. He also broke several national records, including the highest individual Test score by a South African and the highest score by a South African captain.

 

At the time of writing, South Africa had reached a massive 549 for 5, with Mulder still looking strong and aiming to push his score even higher. His outstanding performance has not only put South Africa in a commanding position but has also written his name into the record books as one of the game’s top Test batsmen.
