Hi Pradeep,
When you are playing the ball down the line to their backhand side it is a shorter distance. So you need to put a little more topspin on the ball to get the ball up and down over the net and on the table.
Also play the ball slower to start with till you get used to the distance.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
