Not bad at all Nikhil,

... and well done for catching one in flight

You have some issues with noise and subject movement, but small sensor cameras do that - a trade for the better Depth of Field

Well, general tips are;
Don't under expose
Don't crop excessively
Use a low iso - but only if this still gives you an acceptable shutter speed for subject movement or camera shake*

* no point having a noise free, but blurred image - the noise will be much easier to fix in PP than the other things

.. which brings me to Noise Reduction software; I use Neat Image and am pleased with the result

I find it best not to sharpen (at all) until after I have reduced noise (which I do using Neat Image as a Photoshop Plug-In Filter)

HTH,
