HI Balaji,

If you mean how do you generate sidespin, you need to brush the side of the ball or brush across the back of the ball.  This will make the ball spin on a vertical axis and spin sideways. 

To generate any type of spin you need to brush the ball on contact.

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.
