Kumar Sangakkara, Hashim Amla aren’t legends? AB de Villiers destroys the excuse of Wiaan Mulder’s “legends”
The legendary South African striker AB of Villiers exploded Wiaan Mulder for having moved a chance of gold from breaking the World Record Brian Lara during the test cricket during the second test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in July 2025.
Wiaan Mulder, who captain of South Africa in the absence of Temba Bavuma and Keshav Maharaj, sailed 367 undefeated of only 334 bullets. The versatile Protaas was unique to break the iconic 400 -point emblematic record in test cricket.

Wiaan later explained that he wanted Lara’s record to stay with the legend of the Antilles, which had achieved the feat against England in 2004.
Mulder had told Shaun Pollock at the end of the day: “I thought we had enough of the new ball, and secondly, Brian Lara is a legend. He obtained 400 against England – for someone in this stature, to keep this file is quite special. ”
He added: “I think that if I have the opportunity again, I will probably do the same thing. Speaking to Shuks (Shukri Conrad), he somehow said to me:” Okay, listen, let the legends keep the very big scores “.”

However, AB de Villiers was not impressed by the call of Mulder. The former South African skipper stressed that Mulder had already exceeded legends like Kumar Sangakkara, Hashim Amla and many others on the way to 367.
If Mulder really believed in the protection of “registers of legends”, whereas what about these names he has exceeded? The legendary striker has clearly indicated that records are intended to be broken and that the story does not care about who is the opponent.
AB de Villiers said on the Podcast Beard Before Wcom: “I think he should have (broken the Lara record). I mean, I do not quite agree with the comments thereafter where he spoke of legends having to have the files. But he has exceeded a lot of legends just for the last 20 races.
He will never have this opportunity: AB de Villiers
In addition, De Villiers said that Mulder may never have another chance like that again. The scene was perfect, and Mulder should have gone for the story.
