Young cricketer Pranav Dhanawade, who shot to fame after he scored a mind-boggling 1,009 not out in a school match, was taken into police custody on Sunday after he allegedly objected to vacate a playground, which was to be used as a helipad for Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar's visit.
Dhanawade, who was practicing at the Subhash ground in Kalyan, was asked to leave along with his friends by a guard. The boys soon got into an argument with the constables on duty and Dhanawade was taken to the police station for clarification.
He was later let off with a warning.
After he smashed the world-record unbeaten 1,009 earlier this year, Dhanawade was awarded a monthly scholarship for five years from the Mumbai Cricket Association.
Minister Javadekar, meanwhile, was quoted as saying by a TV channel, "It is not proper to make use of the play grounds for helipad hence I would be travelling by road and will not use the helicopter this time."
