Hi Kartikeyan,
To generate good backspin you need to brush under the ball with a fine contact. This brushing action gets the ball spinning around. Think of the ball as a big wheel that you are trying to get turning around by using your bat.
We do have a lesson on this topic in our Learning To Spin lesson in the Serving Secrets section.
