Ball hitting my body

Rules

Najam Tariq Asked 8 years ago

During a rally, if my opponent smashes the ball, and it hits any part of my body and goes up in the air. Can I still gain a point, if i manage to hit the ball, on my opponent's side, while the ball is still in the air.

Hi Najam,

Once the ball hits something other than your bat, the point is ended and your opponent gains a point.
