Hi Yashant,
In doubles, the team who is receiving gets to decide who will receive the first serve. Once that decision is made the pattern must be followed for the rest of the set. Watch our video on the rules as we cover this in detail towards the end of the lesson.
Let me know if that clears things up for you.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
