Damn, used to read those in early 2000s. 

 

Bought 2 new ones in Dec 2002 covering Ashes and Widen top 100 ranking and in March 2003, covering upto super sixes matches of WC. It had poster of SRT's straight drive from Ind-Pak match.

I used to read it as a kid. Still remember a cover they had before the Ind-Aus series in 1999 that said "एक तरफ बाघ है तोह दूजी तरफ तेंदुआ!". Good times.

Was always a Sports star/ Sports world guy. If I had to rank them Sports Star followed by Sports world.

 

Never read Hinthi magazines

Used to read it in 1980s and 1990s as a kid/teenager.
