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.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
