NEW DELHI: We all have heard stories of how legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar gave legspinner Shane Warne nightmares - something he later clarified was just a joke. However, Australian legend Ricky Ponting has confessed that Harbhajan Singh , whom he considers his arch nemesis, still continues to give him nightmares.Ponting, who is in India promoting his home state of Tasmania as its brand ambassador, told ANI, "My arch nemesis when I was playing against India was Harbhajan Singh, I still get nightmares about him. Although he has a Test batting average of 51.85, it plummets to 26.48 when his record in India is considered. In 25 innings, he managed 662 runs and has just one century to show for.Harbhajan shared a frosty relationship with the Australian team which was punctuated by several verbal volleys. Ponting, the Australian captain, strongly supported Symonds during the entire saga.On his part, Harbhajan considers Ponting among the top five batsmen he has played against.
