The Marathas under the command of Sadashivrao Bhau defeated the army of Salabat Jung (brother of Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II); wherein Salabat had intended to take the position as the Nizam.[1][2]
The aftermath of the war resulted in the Nizam's forces surrendering territories with 60 lakhs annual income including the cities of Ahmadnagar, Daulatabad, Burhanpur and Bijapur.[1]
Following the battle, the Marathas turned north to combat an Afghan force led by Ahmed Shah Durrani at the Third Battle of Panipat.[2]
