Hi Muhtasim,

Start at the basics of the backhand strokes.  Start with the Backhand Counterhit and Backhand Topspin Against Block.  This will develop your control of the ball on the backhand side.

Then practice the Backhand Push.  This will be useful when you are facing lower serves to the backhand side.  If the ball is going into the net it may mean that the serve has backspin on it.  This will mean you need to get under the ball more to lift it over the net.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
