India's senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin broke Kapil Dev's record for being the second-highest wicket-taker on Sunday against Sri Lanka in the first Test match. The off-spinner dismissed Sri Lankan batter Charith Asalanka to claim his 435th wicket in Test cricket. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have bowled brilliantly in the Test match as Sri Lanka have not been given any opportunity to score runs.
Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a classical off-spinning delivery to the left-hander as he edged the ball and Virat Kohli who was standing at slips took a comfortable catch to help Ashwin achieve the massive feat. Anil Kumble with 619 wickets is the only bowler ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket.
Here is how Twitter reacted as Ravichandran Ashwin broke Kapil Dev's record:

True inspiration for many youngsters!
Ravi Ashwin - the journey started almost 11 years ago against the West Indies and now 11 years later he's India's 2nd highest and overall 9th highest wicket taker in Test cricket history. What a bowler, what a champion.
