Hi Irshad,
For the short ball you need to move your right foot in close to the table. This is a short and fast movement that must be practiced.
Then you need to watch the flight of the ball well. During your training, get your partner to feed multi ball a lot of balls that are close to being short or long. This will give you practice in reading the length and deciding when you can attack and when you need to push.
