During the Battle
Governor General John Shore followed the policy of non-intervention despite the Nizam being under his protection. This led to the loss of trust with the British. This was the last battle fought together by all the Maratha chiefs, under the leadership of Parshurambhau Patwardhan. The Maratha forces consisted of cavalry, including gunners, bowmen, artillery and infantry.[4]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
After several skirmishes the Nizam's infantry under Michel-Joachim Raymond launched an attack on the Marathas but Scindia forces under Jivabadada Kerkar defeated them and launched a counter-attack which proved to be decisive. The rest of the Hyderabad army fled to the fort of Kharda. The Nizam started negotiations and they were concluded in April 1795.[5]Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
