MELBOURNE: Batting legend Ricky Ponting feels India skipper Virat Kohli is the best one-day batsman in the world but it is not yet time to call him a great of the five-day format. I thought he was six or seven months ago and he's probably taken it to another level since then," Ponting was quoted as saying by the 'Sydney Morning Herald'. Virat 's not even halfway along that path," he said.Talking about the upcoming Australia tour of India, Ponting said the visitors will need to get Kohli out of his comfort zone to have any chances of doing well in the four-Test series. "The one thing about Virat Kohli is whenever there's any confrontation, he does get a little bit outside of his comfort zone. "One thing I learnt about playing in India is the momentum that the home team can create, you have to try and stop that.
