Hi Aashray,

The key is the preparation of the bat before the shot.  You need to have the wrist back to allow the stroke to happen.  Also make sure you are hitting the ball at the peak of the bounce to give you the best chance of making the shot.

Watch the tutorial on the Backhand Flick again if you need to and then practice the stroke as much as you can.
