Hi Abhishek,

Maybe the solution is to be more ready for a forehand block.  If you say you can block with your forehand normally then it is a matter of reacting quickly enough to get in to a good position and then play your stroke.

Try to be more prepared for the forehand.  This may also mean a slight movement of your feet to move around to more of a forehand position.

Also make sure you are watching the ball carefully during the rally and try to track it as early as you can.  This will give you the best chance to react in time.
