Hi Nikhil,
You need to hit the ball flat and fast to get this to happen.
Have the end of your bat facing down towards the table and hit the ball close to that end. So point your thumb and forefinger towards the table.
Get the first bounce close to you on your side and aim to get the ball long on the other side as well. Make sure the ball is going low over the net. Give it a good smack and in training don't be worried about hitting the ball long sometimes. In fact you need to hit it long sometimes to get the feel of how fast you really can hit it.
