Hi Nikhil,
To make it go to his backhand it is easier to use your backhand. This will give you the easier angle to hit it over to that side of the table. So next time, step over and use you backhand block and angle it over there.

by using my backhand it goes to the middle of the table but not his backhand
Push it forward towards his backhand. Hit the ball quite flat.
