Has Babar Azam changed his batting approach since the England tour?

I noticed he was much more flashy especially with his off side game however he had the tendency to leave a gap and would get out playing casually since then he has gone tighter with his technique however it has come at a cost as he has lost some flair to his game.

Personally I am ok with it, it shows he is flexible enough to make adjustments in his game unlike Umer who for years we pleaded to bat with more responsibility.
 
He is like from a different universe. Has great control over his batting and makes batting look very easy. This is the guy we were crying to be brought when Misbah was presisting with his friends.
 
You are right. He was playing a lot of cover drives back then. Even back in UAE. His mental side of the game has been awesome though. Loads of character.
 
English pitches were true and the bowling quality was average therefore easy to play his shots.

Australia pitches are even better for strokeplay but the bowling quality was elite.

Windies pitches are terrible for strokeplay. Last match was an exception.
