Hi Preetish,
Stay central to the table. The best position is where you can just touch the table when you are in the Basic Stance. Then put your bat on the middle line. This should put you into a good position to reach the whole table with just one step in any direction.
To receive spin, think about using your bat like a rudder to steer the ball back. We have a series on Receiving Secrets that will help a lot in this area.

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.
