As Afghans moved into the decaying Mughal Empire, Afghan General Ahmed Shah Durrani,  on his fifth invasion, was checked at Lahore, then met Maratha Chief Dattaji Sindhia at Barari Ghat on the Jumna River north of Delhi. The Maratha army was destroyed in a surprise attack and Dattaji was killed. The victory led directly to the great Afghan triumph a year later at Panipat.
