The correct answer is B (Viv Richards) as claimed. Richards held the fastest Test century record (56 balls) from 1985 to 2006. Note: this record has been broken multiple times since then.

The correct answer is B (Rahul Dravid) as claimed. Dravid holds the record for most catches in Test cricket (210 catches), primarily as a slip fielder. Options A, C, and D are not the record holders.

Brian Lara holds the Test cricket record for most runs in a single over, scoring 28 runs (4, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6) off South Africa's Robin Peterson at Johannesburg in 2003-04.

Anil Kumble holds the Indian record for most 5-wicket hauls in Test cricket (35). The claimed answer (D) is correct. Kapil Dev, Harbhajan Singh, and Javagal Srinath have fewer 5-wicket hauls than Kumble.

Sri Lanka holds the record for highest Test innings total (952/6 vs India, 1997). The claimed answer (C) is correct. Australia, India, and England have not scored higher totals in a single Test innings.
