Star India opener Rohit Sharma was left stunned after meeting Sunil Rout, one of the ex-India skipper's die-hard fans, who cycled all the way from Odisha to Mumbai to meet him.

In a viral post uploaded by photographer Viral Bhayani, Rohit is said to have exclaimed: "Baap re baap," after learning of Rout's impressive 1800km journey across 24 days.

Rohit warmly hugged Rout who gifted the 2011 World Cup-winner a religious idol and a photo frame.
