While playing (right handed player), the bat slips and falls on the table. Can he pick up the bat with his left hand and continue playing?

Hi Ujjal,

You are allowed to pick the bat up again and continue the rally.  As long as you have your bat in your hand you are allowed to hit the ball with the bat.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
