The Battle of Alegaon was fought between Nizam Ali Khan of Hyderabad and Raghunathrao of the Maratha Empire against Madhavrao I of the Maratha Confederacy. Raghunathrao had established an alliance with Nizam Ali Khan of Hyderabad.
When conflict arose between Raghunathrao and Madhavrao I, a joint campaign by Nizam Ali Khan and Raghunathrao resulted in Madhavrao I being heavily defeated. [1] Madhavrao I surrendered on 12 November 1762.[2] Nizam Ali Khan got all of his territories lost at the Battle of Udgir. Madhavrao I submitted to his uncle, Raghunathrao.[1]
