Wiaan Mulder

Pieter Willem Adriaan Mulder (born 19 February 1998), known as Wiaan Mulder, is a South African first-class cricketer. He made his One Day International (ODI) debut for South Africa in October 2017 and his Test debut in March 2019. In domestic cricket, Mulder plays for Gauteng Lions. Mulder was a member of the South African team which won the 2025 World Test Championship final, the second ICC title the country had won. Quotes To be honest, wherever I fit in in the South African team is where I want to play. It's been my dream as a kid, still my dream consistently to play for South Africa. For me, it's the pinnacle and that's what I'll try and do as long as I can. It's been in the test team, I've always had to kind of figure things out. I think Test cricket is incredibly hard And there's no easy runs in Test cricket. So having more than one century for my country is really special, especially in Test cricket. I'm really happy with how my mental processes went and to finally get down to No 3 is really special. The important thing is that we're in a good position as a team. So my individual things are pretty cool. But in a week from now, everyone's going to forget about my 100 and it's whether South Africa won the Test match, I'm going to keep pushing, keep trying to be better and stay greedy And if that means batting at No 3, then I'm going to do my best to stay in the team and batting at 3. Wiaan Mulder living the dream at No 3 after his career-best 147 sets up the Proteas for big win, September 2024,IOL, by Zaahier Adams The team was already in a strong position before lunch. It was never about the record. It was about winning the game. That’s where my head was at. A lot of people are crucifying me for not going for 400... but 367 in a Test is special. The team comes first and that’s how it should be. I want to be remembered as a good person and a team man. What I achieve on the field doesn’t really bother me, as long as I contribute positively. I’m a religious person, and that’s what I want to pass on to my kids one day. My spot in the team is temporary and anyone can come through and take it. That’s cricket, and that’s life.
