Saina Nehwal ranks 50th globally while Sania Mirza ranking on the 100th position. The list has ranked athletes from around the world taking into account three fame factors;
Search score: Which measures how often a name is searched, using Cristiano Ronaldo’s score of 100 as a baseline
Endorsement dollars: The sources ranged from Forbes to ESPN contributors.
Social Media followers: The ranking used only the number from their most popular account. So if an athlete had 2 million Instagram followers but his or her other accounts had only 1 million followers, the social media score was 2 million.
Sania Mirza – 100th globally
Search Score: 4
Endorsements: US$ 2 million

While she still represents India, we’re equally proud of Sania Mira. More power to you!
