Unless something is wrong with your reel, it sounds like you need to tighten the drag further. The drag needs to be just loose enough to not break your line when the fish runs, but still allow you to pump the fish in, when it stops running.

But, while fighting fish I realized that i could not reel in, though my reel handle was rotating in 360 degree motion and even Whenever fish resisted it took off the line but simultaneously when i reeled in it did not worked. Actually, the strength of fish drag was more than my reel in. Could you please help how should i overcome these problem?

It's always worked well for me, as I've caught numerous fish with this kind of reel. The only reel I’ve ever had or used is a spincast reel.
