HI Somshekar,

You need to watch the contact of the bat on the ball when your opponent is hitting it. Then try to determine the direction the ball will spin.  If it has sidespin it will spin to the side.  To counteract that sidespin you need to angle your bat away from the direction that the ball will spin.  If the ball wants to go to the right then angle your bat so that it is facing to the left.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
