Wiaan mulder 367: The record of scoring the most runs in an innings of Test cricket is in the name of Brian Lara, which he made against England in 2004. He scored an innings of 400 runs. On Monday, 21 years, South African batsman Vian Mulder reached very close to breaking this record. On the second day of the second Test against Zimbabwe, he had scored 367 runs till the first session, he was 34 runs away from making the world record but then he declared the innings.
Everyone was surprised by this decision of Vian Mulder. Let me tell you that he is captaining in this match, because Keshav Maharaj was out of the second Test due to injury. Temba Bavuma is not a part of this series. Some were calling this decision of the Mulder as a liver, and someone was considering it as stupid. Such an opportunity does not come again and again in the life of any player. But after the second day’s play was over, Mulder himself revealed why he did this.
Brian did not want to break Lara’s record
Vian Mulder said, “I felt that our team has now become good runs, Zimbabwe should take off for batting. Secondly, Brian Lara is a great player. It would be appropriate to maintain this big record. If I get a chance again, I will do the same.
Vian Mulder made many records
In the innings of 367 runs, Vian Mulder made many records. He has become the biggest Test innings batsman for South Africa, he broke Hashim Amla’s record (311). This is also the second fastest triple century of Test cricket, he completed his triple century in 297 balls. This Test is also the fifth largest innings in history. Please tell that no Indian is included in the top 10.
South Africa on the threshold of victory

Yes, the team was reduced to 170 runs in the first innings, by the end of the second day’s play, Zimbabwe also lost 1 wicket in the second innings. South Africa is currently ahead by 405 runs.
