Vian Mulder played 367, Historical innings of run

If a player is close to making a world record and also has a golden opportunity but forgetting it and sacrificing the record, then it needs a big jigra. Something similar was done by Captain Vian Mulder of South Africa. For the first time against Zimbabwe, Vian Mulder landed as a captain in Test cricket and performed tremendously in this Test match and played an unbeaten innings of 367 runs in 334 balls.

Brian Lara’s biggest personal score of Test was closer to breaking

Vian Mulder was just 34 runs away from crossing the biggest personal score in Test cricket history, during this time he had a big opportunity to break the record of Test cricket’s biggest personal score West Indies batsman Brian Lara. When he was washing Zimbabwe bowlers fiercely, it was believed that the Great Brian Lara’s nearly two decades old records would break in this match.

Vian Mulder did not think about breaking Lara’s record

But suddenly, Vian Mulder, who is captaining here, declared the innings despite reaching close to this record. The decision to declare the innings by the Mulder is considered to be digested. The whole world cricket is surprised why he did this, why did he not move towards breaking this world record. After this, there has been a debate in world cricket whether Vian Mulder should have broken the world record of Brian Lara? Let us now try to know what the answer to this question can be.

Should Mulder have broken the world record of Brian Lara,

The South African team is on a tour of Zimbabwe. Where, a 2 -match Test series is being played between the two teams. The second Test match was played at Bulwayo. In this match, Keshav Maharaj (Keshav Maharaj), who was made the captain on this tour for South Africa, gets injured and the captaincy gets the responsibility of Vian Mulder. Mulder made history in the first match as a captain and he was playing a marathon innings of 367 runs.

Here, no one can accept a bigger chance of breaking the world record with this protigned player. He was so close to breaking the record for the biggest innings in Test cricket history that he would easily play this position by playing the next few overs. However, he did not do so and declared the innings by playing some overs on the second day. World cricket is so surprised by this decision of Vian Mulder that he could not understand why he did this?

Now we turn to the biggest question whether the Mulder should have moved towards breaking the record of Brian Lara? So, the answer can be yes. Why? Let us also tell you about this. Because no one gets such opportunities every day. Brian Lara played a world record of 400 runs against England in 2004. For the last 21 years, no one could be able to get this record.

Protiaz star player should have tried to break the world record

Even the big stalwarts stayed away from going close to it or achieving it, while only Vian Mulder, who was playing his 21st Test match, was very close to this special record. The manner in which he was playing. In view of this, he definitely had to think about breaking this record. Because no one can get such opportunities every day.

Such opportunities are not available again and again

It happens once in such decades. From Sachin Tendulkar to Ricky Ponting, Jacques Kallis to Kumar Sangakkara and Virat, Smith, Root and Williamson have played in the last 2 decades. None of them could get this opportunity. So, if a new promising player like Mulder had got a chance, then he should not have lost it. Regarding this record, the Mulder himself told that the real deserved of this record should be the great Bryan Lara. For such a big thinking, the Mulder becomes a cellute, but if he thinks in a professional way, he should have gone towards breaking Lara’s record.
