Expert Answer
The Sultan of Bijapur sent a powerful army under Afzal Khan to defeat Shivaji. However, Shivaji was extremely alert in his private meeting with Afzal Khan. The latter was killed. In the battle which followed, the highly motivated Maratha army defeated the army of Bijapur. The Sultan of Bijapur was forced to recognise Shivaji as the ruler of the territories which he had captured.
