Just because someone has an attractive cover-drive does not mean his technique is good. What do you make of Shakib? He has one ugly batting style and his technique is definitely unique. But it's actually a very good technique and he has been successful with it.
Kayes has three major flaws in his technique. He plays with hard hands so that he's not good at rotating strike. He tends to get squared up at angled or moving deliveries. And, he is still indecisive against the short ball. Of these, he has worked the most on his compulsive pulling and now is reasonable agains short-pitched bowling. The 2nd piece - he's better when on form and not trying to force things. He's hopeless on the 1st one.
