Kapil Dev broke Richard Hadlee's world record of 431 Test wickets by dismissing Hashan Tillakaratne of Sri Lanka in 1994, reaching 432 wickets. This was a historic moment in Indian cricket. Aravinda de Silva and Roshan Mahanama were Sri Lankan batsmen but not the record-breaking victim. The 'None Of The Above' option is wrong since Tillakaratne was indeed the wicket that made Kapil the world record holder.
