At the height of Maratha power in northern India, Sadashiv Bhao, cousin of Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao, marched east against Nizam Salabat Jang of Hyderabad. In a crushing victory at Udgir, northwest of Hyderabad, the Nizam’s army was utterly defeated, but the Marathas were forced to turn north against an Afghan force, which had just defeated them in Punjab at Barari Ghat.
