Hi Vamsi,

Yes you can as long as you don’t touch the net.  As long as you don't interfere with the player on the other side in any way you can move anywhere around the table.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
