Hi Siddharth,
Take a look at this previous question that answers a very similar question.
Returning serves that are fast to my backhand.
If you do a search at the top of the Ask the Coach page for 'Returning long serves to backhand' you will also see a few other questions there that will help.

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.
