I want to know a backhand serve which generates backspin.

Hi Vinayak,

To generate backspin on the backhand serve tilt your bat backwards a little and brush under the ball. You can also hit the ball as the bat is coming down in the motion.

We cover this in our Backhand Serve tutorial.

The Kicker Serve

The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
