Hi Sandeep,

Make sure you are getting as close to the table as possible by reaching under with your right leg as far as you can.  Then wait for the ball to come to you.  There are very few balls that will not bounce long enough to be touched.  If the ball is too low when it gets to you, then use the push option.  I was very short as a junior and know this feeling well.
