Hi Vineeth,
It is a matter of being balanced so that you can move both ways. If you are waiting on the forehand side it is always difficult to adjust so quickly to the backhand. Try to remain in a neutral position and then watch the ball carefully. By watching the ball you will pick up a little earlier where the ball is going and therefore give yourself a better chance of returning it.
