Hi Sandeep,
Returning serve is one of the hardest parts of the game.
The key is to not try to do too much. Just use the angle of your racket to steer the ball back on the table. As you see where the ball is going with each return you will start to adjust naturally to the spin.
We have a series of lessons on how to return spin. Take a look t what is available in our Receiving Secrets section.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
