SA vs SL | Twitter bows to Wiaan Mulder’s grit after his audacious six with a hurt wrist
Setbacks and injuries are inevitable in cricket, but moments of grit often shine through adversity. A prime example unfolded on the second day of the Test match between South Africa and Sri Lanka, where Wiaan Mulder showcased remarkable resilience despite being injured on the wrist.
As South Africa lost more wickets, Mulder returned to the crease, determined to contribute despite his injury. His defining moment came in the 49th over. Facing a tossed-up delivery from Sri Lankan skipper Dhananjaya de Silva, Mulder stepped out confidently, reading the lack of spin perfectly. He unleashed a clean, straight hit over long-off for a magnificent six, sending the crowd into raptures. The Johannesburg-born all-rounder celebrated with a fist pump to his partner, Kagiso Rabada, showcasing his resilience. Social media buzzed with praise for Mulder’s daring approach, with fans applauding the grit and brilliance behind his unforgettable six.
