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.

Judging the Length of a Serve
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
