Hi Abhishek,
It is important during a match to focus on your tactics and thinking about each point. If you do this you will start to play each point better rather than thinking about what has happened in the first game or what might happen in the next game.
With this you will start to remain calmer for each point. It is not even a matter of confidence it is just a matter of working for that particular point you are about to play with the tactic that you are working on.
