Hi Hari,

Take a look at this previous question on Returning smashes. This will help. 

You need to watch the ball carefully throughout the rally to give yourself the best chance of seeing where it is coming.

Hey.  It seems like you are having a little trouble with the "indecision" point.  A simple backhand block placed in front of you should do well.  Always hold the paddle lightly, and move backwards to get into position for a lob against the next smash.  Hope it works out for you.  Good luck!
