Hi Rahul,
If the ball is going into the net, you need to open the racket more. By having a faster action you can also get the ball to lift more.
Firstly try opening the face of the racket a little. Experiment with this to get the right angles. Of course each ball is slightly different so you need to adjust constantly. However if you are saying most of your strokes are going into the net then focus firstly on opening the racket.

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.
