Hi Nikhil,
If you take a look at Wang Hao's grip closely, you'll notice his middle finger is actually bent sideways at the end knuckle. This is from his years and years of playing with his RPB dominant grip. It's a particularly hard grip to copy because of it, as the pressure on the knuckle is very great. His fingers are also not totally straight out which can push his fingertips into the rubber a little.
