HI Somshekar,
You need to watch the contact of the bat on the ball when your opponent is hitting it. Then try to determine the direction the ball will spin. If it has sidespin it will spin to the side. To counteract that sidespin you need to angle your bat away from the direction that the ball will spin. If the ball wants to go to the right then angle your bat so that it is facing to the left.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
