Male players visuals clearly dominate 74 percent in Indian print media, as female players only get 7 percent share. However, the joint (male and female) visuals were used after the male visuals 19 percent. The Times of India published maximum male visuals (86 percent) but these were small size photographs. Both the Punjabi language newspapers Punjabi Tribune and Ajit have not published female players on the front pages. Dainik Tribune was the only newspaper who gave the 10 percent space to female players. Maximum female sports visuals were used without the stories and without the caption, whereas most of the male visuals were used with the stories and 50 percent with the caption.
