Dhaka: 
Here are the milestones can be achieved during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
# Sachin Tendulkar, with 97 hundreds in 622 games - 51 in Tests and 46 in ODIs - needs just three more during the forthcoming World Cup to complete a century of international hundreds.
# Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly have registered three hundreds each as captain in the World Cup. Ponting, in case of a hundred, would be the first to register four centuries as captain.
# Ponting is on the verge of becoming the first captain to aggregate 1,000 runs in the World Cup. His present tally is 954 runs at an average of 59.62 in nineteen innings (22 games). Apart from three hundreds, he has recorded five fifties. The next best aggregate as captain in the World Cup is held by New Zealand's Stephen Fleming - 882 (ave.36.75), including two hundreds and four fifties, in 27 matches.
# Tendulkar already holds a record for registering most fours (189) in the history of the World Cup. With eleven fours during the 2011 competition, he would be the first to reach a tally of 200 fours.
# Tendulkar, having played five successive World Cup tournaments between 1992 and 2007, would be emulating Javed Miandad's feat of appearing in six World Cup competitions in succession since the inaugural edition i.e. between 1975 to 1996.
# Tendulkar, with an aggregate of 1796 (ave.57.93), including four hundreds and 13 fifties, in 36 games, needs 204 runs to become the first batsman to amass 2,000 runs in the World Cup.
# Ricky Ponting is all set to establish a record for most appearances in the World Cup. At present the record for most appearances is held jointly by Glenn McGrath and Ponting. Both have played 39 games each between 1996 and 2007.
# Jacques Kallis (923 at an average of 51.27 in 29 games) requires 77 runs to become the second South African to complete 1,000 runs in the World Cup - a feat achieved only by Herschelle Gibbs - 1067 (ave.56.15) in 25 matches.
# Australia have played 29 consecutive games between May 27, 1999 and April 28, 2007 without losing - a record at the World Cup. In case of just one win in the 2011 edition, Australia would be the first team to play 30 successive games without losing. No other team has even played ten games in succession without losing. Australia's said tally includes 22 games in succession won by them between June 20, 1999 and April 28, 2007. (West Indies have the next best record - 9 wins between June 7, 1975 and June 23, 1979 under Clive Lloyd's captaincy.
# Shivnarine Chanderpaul (856 at an average of 40.76 in 26 matches) is likely to become the third West Indian to complete 1,000 runs in the World Cup. Brian Lara holds a West Indian record with 1225 runs at an average of 42.24, including two centuries and seven fifties, in 34 matches. Vivian Richards had aggregated 1013 at an average of 63.31 in 23 matches, including three centuries and five fifties.
# Muttiah Muralitharan (53 wickets at 19.69 runs apiece in 31 matches) has an opportunity to overtake Glenn McGrath's tally of 71 wickets (ave.18.19) in 39 matches and to establish a record in the World Cup.
# Ponting, the only captain to enjoy a cent per cent record, having won all the 22 world cup games, is likely to overtake Stephen Fleming's tally of 27 matches as captain.
# Tendulkar's seventeen fifty-plus innings - four centuries and thirteen fifties - in 36 matches is a record in the World Cup. In case of just three fifty-plus innings, he would be the first to register twenty fifty or more innings in the World Cup.
