India's retiring World Cup hero Gautam Gambhir has a tremendous fan following; be it because of his commendable on-field commitment to the game, or his activistic side off it, 'Gauti' has no dearth of supporters.

On Friday, the 37-year-old, playing the final game of his career, was greeted by a rogue fan, who jogged to the middle of the Feroz Shah Kotla to reportedly touch Gambhir's feet and capture an enviable selfie with the star.

Chasing the intruder on a foggy Delhi morning, a couple of policemen managed to capture him soon after, capping his dream meeting with some lathi hits.
