Gill missed but not the captain of South Africa, Vian Mulder scored a triple century history, for the first time in 148 years …
Wiaan Mulder Triple Century Record: South Africa’s young all -rounder Vian Mulder made history by scoring a triple century in Test cricket on 7 July. His unbeaten innings of 367 runs against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo not only broke Hashim Amla’s 311 -run record, but also made South Africa the biggest personal score in Test cricket. Let us tell you that the Mulder is captaining the South African team in this Test match.
The second Test match is being played between South Africa and Zimbabwe in Bulawayo from 6 July. In this Test match, South African team captain Vian Mulder scored 367 not out of 334 balls in the first innings at a strike rate of 109.88. He did something amazing that no one could do in the history of 148 years of cricket till date.
Mulder took over the captaincy in place of Keshav Maharaj
Significantly, this two -match Test Series World Test Championship (WTC) cycle being played between South Africa and Zimbabwe is not part of the cycle. For this reason, the Protiaz team had given rest to prominent players like their regular captain Temba Bavuma, Kagiso Rabada and Aden Markram. Keshav Maharaj was handed over the captaincy for this series, but the star all -rounder was injured on the third day of the first Test, which later led to a waist problem. Due to this injury, Maharaj was out of the second Test and Vian Mulder was made the captain for the current match, who redeemed the opportunity and created history.
