Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting may have been troubled quite a few times by Indian pacer Ishant Sharma, but the right-hander has revealed that he still gets nightmares about veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, whom he describes as 'arch-nemesis' from his playing days. "My arch nemesis when I was playing against India was Harbhajan Singh. I still get nightmares about him," Ponting said on the sidelines of a cricket workshop at Australia Embassy. Despite boasting a staggering batting average of 51.85, Ponting had always struggled against Harbhajan as the Indian spinner had dismissed the former on 10 occasions in Tests-more than any other bowler-including three ducks. "Virat Kohli is an ultra-skilled and talented player, I think Steve Smith and Kane Williamson are also in the same boat," Ponting said.
