Hi Rishav,
Make sure you are taking a small step to the get behind the ball. As a guide, if you let the ball go, it should hit you in the stomach. Trying to play a backhand from outside the line of your body is difficult.
If the ball is bouncing high, you can move in closer to the table and take it earlier off the bounce before it gets too high or move back and wait for it to come down.
