Hi Swaraj,
He makes a fast topspin. A lot of players think that this is a smash. It is very important on these sorts of strokes to hit the ball with a lot of topspin otherwise you are decreasing your chances of getting the ball on the table.
HIs follow through is quite low on this shot because there is already a lot of topspin on the ball and he has to keep the ball down.
