Can the ball take double bounce in opponents side during service in doubles match. You explained in a video but some people only play it for singles. Can you please tell us for doubles as well sir. Please reply.

Hi Sudhanshu,
Yes the ball is allowed to bounce short on the table for doubles as well. So if the returner let the ball the ball could bounce as many times as you wish.
Just to clarify though that the returner must still hit the ball after the first bounce otherwise the server wins the point.

Only difference in doubles serving is that you have to serve from your right hand box to your opponent's right hand box
