South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder has etched his name in cricket history by breaking a 44-year-old record set by Pakistan’s Hanif Mohammad. Playing against Zimbabwe in an away Test match, Mulder scored an unbeaten 369 runs, achieving the highest individual score in an away Test series.
Hanif Mohammad had held the record since 1958, when he scored 337 runs against the West Indies. That innings stood as the top individual performance in away Test matches for more than four decades. Mulder’s remarkable effort has now overtaken it, setting a new benchmark for visiting batters in Test cricket.
South Africa declared their innings at 626 for 5, with Mulder remaining not out on 369. His innings included a wide range of shots, solid defense, and sharp decision-making. This performance not only lifted South Africa to a dominant position in the match but also added a proud chapter to their cricketing records.
Cricket analysts and fans around the world have praised Mulder’s patience and technique. Breaking such a long-standing record is seen as a once-in-a-generation feat, especially in tough away conditions. Many believe this innings will be remembered as one of the finest in modern Test cricket.
The Test match against Zimbabwe was part of a two-match away series. Mulder’s historic knock came at a time when South Africa was seeking strong performances from its middle order. His consistency and determination stood out, earning applause from teammates, coaches, and legends of the game.
As Mulder’s name enters the record books, comparisons with other greats have already begun. For now, cricket celebrates a young player who turned a regular match into a historic moment.
