South African cricketer Wiaan Mulder made history during the second Test match against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo in July 2025. On his captaincy debut, Mulder scored an unbeaten 367 runs, setting multiple records including the highest individual Test score by a South African, surpassing Hashim Amla's previous record of 311 not out set in 2012. His innings is the second-fastest triple century in Test cricket history and the fifth highest individual score overall. Mulder also broke Graeme Smith's record for the best innings on South African captaincy debut and became the first player to score over 350 runs and take a wicket in a Test against Zimbabwe. Despite being close to Brian Lara's world record of 400 not out, Mulder chose to declare the innings at 367 not out out of respect for Lara's record, a decision he explained after consulting with coach Shukri Cornard. South Africa posted a formidable total of 626 for five declared and enforced the follow-on, ultimately winning the match by an innings and 236 runs. This victory secured South Africa a 2-0 series win and marked their 10th consecutive Test victory. Mulder's performance with both bat and ball on his captaincy debut was widely praised as a remarkable feat in cricket history.
