India wicket keeper-batter Taniyaa Bhatia on Monday took to social media site Twitter and claimed in a series of tweets that she was robbed of her personal belongings during her stay at Marriott Hotel London Maida Vale in the side`s recently-concluded white-ball tour of England.
“Shocked and disappointed at Marriot Hotel London Maida Vale management; someone walked into my personal room and stole my bag with cash, cards, watches and jewellery during my recent stay as a part of Indian Women`s Cricket team. So unsafe,” wrote Taniyaa.
India had played three T20Is and as many ODIs in England from September 10 to 24. While they lost the T20I series 2-1, the visitors came back to win the ODI series 3-0, marking it the very first instance of them registering a clean sweep over England in England.

“Hoping for a quick investigation and resolution of this matter. Such lack of security at @ECB_cricket`s preferred hotel partner is astounding. Hope they will take cognisance as well,” she added. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) hadn`t yet responded to Taniyaa`s claims of theft.
Taniyaa didn`t get to play a single match on the tour after playing in the practice match against England Development Squad Women on August 6 as Richa Ghosh and Yastika Bhatia were India`s preferred wicketkeeping options in T20Is and ODIs respectively. She is also one of the two standby players for Women`s Asia Cup, to be played at Sylhet, Bangladesh from October 1-15.
