He joined the united [[Rajput|Rajput Confederacy]] in fatal [[Battle of khanwa|Battle of khanua]] with a garrison of 20,000 [[Rajput]] soldiers and headed the left wing of Rajputs to counter [[Babur]]'s right wing.{{sfn|Sharma|1954|pp=35-36}} The conquest of [[Malwa]] shocked the court of [[Delhi]] as they were not expecting the [[Rajput]]s to invade Malwa.{{sfn|Chaurasia|2002|pp=155}} This led to several skirmishes and battles between the [[Lodi Empire]] and the Kingdom of [[Mewar]]. Medini Rai actively helped Rana Sanga in these battles and helped him score a series of victories. Rana Sanga's influence after the war extended to Pilia Khar, a river on the outskirts of [[Agra]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=L5eFzeyjBTQC&pg=PA224 Chandra, Satish (2006).
