@Divyanshu_Shrivastav I would use save or save as rather than "export". The image size and colour profile will be dependent on your destination. As @Per Berntsen  states, the preview in Export seems to be broken.

If you must use Export, fine but ignore the preview and open the exported file in Photoshop to assess appearance.

 

Beware assessing appearance in non colour managed applications. They may well differ in appearance from Photoshop, which knows how to read the image embedded ICC profile and uses it [just for viewing] to convert colour data to the display ICC profile for accurate viewing*. More about ICC profiles here.

(*IF, that is, the display profile is accurately characterising your display).

Color management for the preview in Export As is broken, just ignore it. The image will export fine, as long as you check Embed Color Profile. This box must always be checked.
