The pitch rating for the third Test between India and Australia on Monday was changed following a BCCI appeal. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has changed the rating of Indore`s Holkar Stadium to `below average` from `poor`. 

Meanwhile, the ICC also gave the Narendra Modi Stadium pitch in Ahmedabad, the venue for the fourth Test, an `average` rating for the slow batting deck where both teams had one completed innings each. The Test match had concluded in a tame draw, with India ultimately sealing the series 2-1. While at Indore, Australia had defeated India by nine wickets inside three days of the Border-Gavaskar Test to confirm their spot in the World Test Championship final.
