Prelude
After Raghoji II Bhonsle and Daulat Rao Scindia were defeated at the Battle of Laswari, they moved south on 28 November 1803. In 1803, Nizam Ali Khan fell gravely ill, prompting Daulat Rao Shinde and the Bhonsale to invade his territories.[1]
Battle
British forces, under the command of Colonel Stevenson and Wellesley, defeated the Marathas at the Battle of Adgaon. This victory allowed the Nizam to regain control of all Maratha claims in Berar, thereby putting an end to the Bhonsales' rule over the region. Nizam Ali Khan passed away later that same year, and he was succeeded by his son Sikander Jah, also known as Asaf Jah III.[1]
