Hi Utkarsh,
This is a skill you can focus on and improve. When you are practicing especially at the start of the session doing forehand to forehand consistency, just pay attention to where the ball is hitting on your racket. The more you do this, the better you will get at hitting the ball in the middle.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
