Hi Utkarsh,

Firstly it is about understanding the spin that is on the ball and how to deal with it.

The best thing is to use your racket like a rudder to steer the ball back.

We have a section on the website devoted to this topic.  You will find a lot of information in our Receiving Secrets lessons about how to recognise spin as well as how to return it effectively.
