Hi Yashant,

In doubles, the team who is receiving gets to decide who will receive the first serve. Once that decision is made the pattern must be followed for the rest of the set. Watch our video on the rules as we cover this in detail towards the end of the lesson.

Let me know if that clears things up for you.
