Wiaan Mulder became the fifth-highest scorer in a Test innings and surpassed Hashim Amla's 311* to record the best score by a South African batsman.

Wiaan Mulder's record-breaking 367* against Zimbabwe was overshadowed by his decision to declare, denying himself a shot at Brian Lara's 400*. This sparked criticism, notably from Chris Gayle, who argued Mulder missed a golden opportunity.

Chris Gayle has criticised Wiaan Mulder for declaring on 367 not out in the second Test against Zimbabwe, saying the South African batter missed a golden chance to break Brian Lara’s world record 400*.
