It takes a lot of time to switch between forehand to backhand.

Any tips how to improve it?

Hi Jishnu,

One of the keys I find is to get the player more square to the table.  This allows you to play both strokes from a similar stance.

Take a look at the tutorial on Improving Your Reflexes.  That is where you will find our tips on reducing switching time.
