Hi Ishan,
Take a little step away from the table in your ready position. You should try to topspin these serves because they are long. You need to watch the type of spin that is on the ball and then make a quick brushing action on the ball with topspin to return the 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.
