Hi Sujeet,

If the serve has some topspin then the flick stroke is probably the best solution.  You can come over the top but also brush slightly on the side to counter the sidespin that comes with the Tomahawk serve.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
