Irfan Pathan climbed to No. 4 in the all-rounders' list in the International Cricket Council's Test and ODI ratings.

The 22-year old from Baroda bowled at 138 kmph in India's first one-day international against England earlier this week, claimed two wickets and scored 28 crucial runs.

The pace spearhead has scored 816 runs at an average of 28.13 and claimed 89 wickets in 24 Test matches, while in 53 one-day matches, he has scored 706 runs at an average of 27.15 and dismissed 91 players.

Heading the all-rounders' list in one-dayers is South Africa's Shaun Pollock, followed by current England skipper Andrew Flintoff and Australia's Andrew Symonds.

Pakistan's Shoaib Malik is fifth behind Pathan.

In Tests, South African Jacques Kallis tops the charts while Flintoff is second, Pollock third and Pathan at fourth.
