The Subhash ground in Kalyan where Dhanawade was playing along with his friends, was handed over to police for security reasons, a senior police official said.
The Public Welfare Department has constructed a helipad on the ground in view of Union HRD Minister Prakash Jawadekar's visit to Kalyan.
A guard, who was on duty to protect the helipad, came to the players and asked them to stop the game.
Heated argument started between police and locals over playing on the ground.

Hence Dhanawade was taken to the police station and later let off after police gave him a warning, said the officer.
The player has secured a monthly scholarship for five years from the Mumbai Cricket Association after becoming the first batsman in the world to notch-up a four-figure innings.
Meanwhile, Javadekar has decided to travel by road and not by helicopter from Pune.
"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," the Minister told a regional news channel.
