Taking to her Twitter handle, Taniya Bhatia wrote, "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 the Indian Women's Cricket team. Mariott is so unsafe. Hoping for a quick investigation and resolution of this matter. Such a lack of security at ECB's preferred hotel partner is astounding. Hope they will take cognisance as well. "

India women register first whitewash against England
The robbery at Taniya Bhatia's hotel room took place just a few days after the Indian women's cricket team registered their first whitewash over England in a three-match ODI series. The women in blue kickstarted the series with a seven-wicket win in the first ODI at Hove before following it up with an emphatic 88-run victory in the second match. And to finish it all, they registered a 16-run win in the third and final ODI to give legend Jhulan Goswami the perfect fairytale ending to a historic career.
