London, Dec 30 (IBNS): After Shikhar Dhawan, another cricketer-Kevin Pietersen- now lashed out at airlines major and alleged that it misplaced his luggage while he was travelling from United Kingdom to Melbourne via Dubai.

Kevin said he was not even left with clothes so that he could wear them for his commentary commitments in the Big Bash League in Australia.

"1. YOU FORGET TO PICK ME UP FOR MY FLIGHT. 2. YOU’VE JUST LEFT ALL MY LUGGAGE IN DUBAI. How do I work on international TV in a few hours with no clothes? 1st Class FULL paying passenger & PLATINUM member. @emirates @EmiratesSupport @Busta569   ," KP tweeted.

Recently, Shikhar Dhawan slammed the airlines after he faced troubles with its service.

Dhawan on Friday hit out at airlines major Emirates  as it did not allow his wife and kids to catch the connecting flight from Dubai to South Africa.

Indian team is flying to Cape Town in South Africa to play the first Test against the home side from Jan 5.

Shikhar said his family was asked by the airlines to produce birth certificates and other documents for the kids.

Dhawan said they were not carrying it at that moment.

He called the behaviour of the airlines towards them as 'unprofessional'.

".Absolutely unprofessional from @emirates. Was on my way 2 SA with my fam & was told tht my wife and kids can't board the flight from Dubai to SA. Was asked to produce birth certificates & other documents fr my kids at the airport which we obviously didn't have at that moment," Dhawan tweeted.

He said: "They are now at Dubai airport waiting for the documents to arrive. Why didn't @emirates notify about such a situation when we were boarding the plane from Mumbai? One of the emirates' employee was being rude for no reason at all."
