Australia`s assistant coach Andrew McDonald on Saturday praised the highly inexperienced Indian bowling attack for the final Test and singled out Washington Sundar, saying the young off-spinner filled the shoes of Ravichandran Ashwin "quite well".

Hit by a barrage of injuries through the series, India picked debutants Washington (3-89) and medium pacer T Natarajan (3-78) in the playing XI. The duo was travelling with the squad as net bowlers.
