Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill scored a century in his Test debut while batting strongly against England. He scored 147 runs in the first innings of the first Test match. Not only this, he scored a double century in Edgbaston, where he scored 269 runs. However, this was his second Test match. Now Vian Mulder of South Africa has also surpassed Shubman Gill. Mulder scored a double century while batting brilliantly in the second Test match against Zimbabwe.
Vian Mulder created history
Vian Mulder has become the third batsman to score a double century on his Test captaincy debut. Earlier, New Zealand’s Graham Dolling scored a double century against India in 1968 in Christchurch. At the same time, Shivnarayan Chandrapal made this feat against South Africa in Georgetown in 2005 while playing for West Indies. Not only this, Mulder also made the biggest score in the first innings as captain. Shivnarayan Chandrapal scored an unbeaten 203 in his Test captaincy debut while Graham Dolling scored 239 runs. The magnificent all -rounder has left both of them behind.
Talking about this match, South Africa did not start so well and he lost both his openers for 24 runs. However, after this, the Dhakad all -rounder batted aggressively and completed his double century. Vian Mulder has made all the fans very happy with his innings.
