Hi Mangalji,

This is just an exhibition game where they are playing around.  The shot would not be legal in a proper match.

We have some information on this on our previous Ask the Coach questions.  Take a look at this How do I get feeling in the Reverse Pendulum Serve?.

To return it you need to angle your bat to our right to counter the sidespin.  Then watch for whether they have put topspin or backspin on it as well and angle your bat to allow for this.
