Hi Vineeth,

You need to think about trying to get away from the table to allow yourself some more time to see the ball.  Then it is best to make a lob.  Take a look at our lesson on the Lob. 

← slow, spinny topspins   sidepin Backhand topspin →

Strawberry Flick

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.

sir,its a real low smash.just above the net level.and it dips further down and so playing a lob against it is very difficult.any other way to tackle it?

Sounds like you will have to Block it then.  It is more though to keep the ball low yourself so that they don't get the opportunity to make the smash.
