Vian Mulder announced just 33 runs behind Brian Lara’s test score record – the list of top 10 highest scores. Cricket news

South Africa’s Stand-in Captain Vian Mulder made a very selfless call as he announced the innings at 626/5, despite being on the verge of breaking Bryan Lara’s prestigious world record for the highest individual score in tests. Mulder remained unbeaten at 367 off 334 balls in the first innings of the second Test against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulwayo on Monday. Lara’s record of 400* against England in 2004 remains intact, but Mulder has now entered the top five highest individual scores in testing history. The right hand, which dominated Zimbabwe’s bowling attack, opted not to chase Lara’s milestone, put his team first. His 367* Now crossing 311 of Hashim Amla against England in 2012, has become the highest individual score by South African in Test cricket. Mulder set a new benchmark for the highest personal scores by any batsman in any test against the West Indies in 1958 by Pakistan’s Hanif Mohammed’s 337. Additionally, he recorded the second fastest triple century in the tests, reaching milestones in just 297 balls. Only Virendra, who required only 278 balls against South Africa in Chennai, has done it fast. Keshav Maharaj and the injured Temba Bavuma, leading the protease in the absence of Temba Bavuma, the Mulder entered the series with a significant weight on his shoulders.
