Hi Riwaz,

The best stroke to use in this situation is the Backhand Block.  This will allow you to control the ball back onto the table and get it low.

The block uses a soft hand and you can angle the bat over the ball to keep the ball down.  If you find that the ball is going too high, just turn your bat forward more to keep the ball down.
