Can't we hold the TT racquet with 2 fingers i.e. the pointer finger and the middle finger on the rubber ?

Hi Saad,

You are allowed to do that but your wrist will be limited in movement.  This will limit the amount of spin that you will be able to get.

It is best if you just use one finger on the back of the bat.
