Hi Abhishek,

Have you seen the lesson on Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.  This will be a good starter.

With topspin against topspin you need to turn your hand over the ball more than with shakehand because the racket is naturally in a more upright position.  You can use your fingers to help to make this angle change as well.
