Hi Atul,
One of the main things here is to watch the ball carefully when it is spinning so that you can track its path accurately. The spin will make the ball curve or dip and if you are not used to the spin it will feel like the ball is going all over the place. In fact it will follow a predictable path. You will learn this path the more you see that particular serve.
Try to develop your own serves as well. Take a look through our Introduction to Serving section to get a whole lot of tips on this.
