The Marathas under the command of Sadashivrao Bhau defeated the army of Salabat Jung (brother of Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II) at Udgir, Latur district; wherein Salabat had intended to take the position as the Nizam.[1][2] This followed by recalling of French governor Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau to Pondicherry in 1760, wherein Nizam Ali, Asaf Jah II was handed over complete power from his brother Salabat Jung who wanted to take the position as 2nd Nizam.[1][2]

The aftermath of the war resulted in the Nizam's forces surrendering territory worth 60 lakhs including the cities of Ahmadnagar, Daultabad, Burhanpur and Bijapur.[1]

Following the battle, the Marathas turned North to combat an Afghan force led by Ahmed Shah Durrani at the Third Battle of Panipat.[2]
