Just asking you a question that if me and my opponent are in a rally and the ball suddenly goes out of the table then hits something and then bounces back on my side. Is it a let?

Hi Prajjwal,

Once the ball hits anything except the table or net it is out and that is the end of the rally, the ball is out and the point goes against the player who hit it.
