Former South Africa all-rounder Lance Klusener feels that a phemenal talent like Rishabh Pant will do well to learn from ors' mistakes rar than make his own in a bid to become more consistent for India in near future. An aver of 22.90 in ODIs and 21.57 in T20s don't do justice to kind of talent flamboyant left-hander possesses and his impetuous shot selection is an indication that he is getting ahe of himself, feels 48-year-old Klusener.

"It would be hard for me to pinpoint but with a phemenal talent like that, one always tends to get a bit ahe of himself," Klusener, who is currently in India as white ball batting coach of South African team, told PTI during an interaction.

Klusener has seen a bit of Pant when he was roped in as Delhi senior team's white-ball consultant last year. "He needs to give himself time to get in and that bit of time will allow him to showcase his talent," said Klusener, who played 49 Tests and 171 ODIs for Proteas. While people believe that a player learns most from his own mistakes, Klusener has a different take on matter. He believes it is more beneficial if player mans to learn from ors' follies.

"What gets you ahe in international cricket is learning from ors' mistakes rar than making your own mistakes along way and learning. I will tell you why. You can learn from your own mistakes but it will take a lot more time to realize, correct and become a better player using that process. If you look at mistakes ors are making, you will learn quickly and thus improve fast," said Klusener.

Klusener's vice to Pant 

1999 World Cup's Player of Tournament also believes that it would be great if Pant can soak in vice from all great seniors in Indian set-up. "It's wonderful to have talent like Rishabh in twilight years of MS Dhoni's career. From an Indian point of view, maybe y should try and get him to contribute more. He has some wonderful coaches and players around him so take ir vice but at same time don't curb your natural talent," vised Klusener.

He, along with Jacques Kallis and England's Andrew Flintoff, belonged to a generation of pure all-rounders (pace bowling) with Ben Stokes carrying baton among current crop of players. "We were possibly (that last batch of pure all-rounders)," he agreed. He believes that skill level has been impacted because players are playing more T20s than Test cricket w.

"This has happened because of ir focus on white-ball cricket or T20 cricket. Well, fairly decent bowlers can get away in T20 cricket. I think in past when focus was more on Test cricket, you h to bowl 15-overs-a-day. more you bowled or longer you batted, you got better at it naturally," he said.

Klusener as Delhi's white-ball consultant

While Klusener will go back after three T20 Internationals against India, he is very keen on coming back as Delhi team's white-ball consultant during Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting on vember 9. "I haven't yet decided but I would like to come back. re are a few offers that I am contemplating. One is Banglesh Premier League dates of which, I believe, have been deferred and w clashing with Mushtaq Ali. I h good communication with DDCA brass and I thoroughly enjoyed my time over here. It was wonderful to work with Mithun Manhas last year, who is a good friend of mine and unfortunately, t re this year," he concluded.
