Washington was disciplined, filled Ashwin's role quite well: Aus assistant coach
After Australia were bundled out for 369 runs in their first innings at The Gabba, their assistant coach Andrew McDonald said that Indian bowlers applied pressure throughout the innings made scoring difficult for the hosts. "I thought Washington Sundar, in particular, was disciplined and [he filled] that role of Ravichandran Ashwin quite well and kept it tight," he added.
