Explanation
At the Battle of Haldighati (1576), the Mughal army was led by Raja Man Singh of Amber, with Asaf Khan as a co-commander. They fought Maharana Pratap of Mewar, whose army included Hakim Khan Sur and the Bhils.
Akbar did not fight in the battle himself, and Bhagwan Das (Man Singh's father) did not lead it. The Mughals held the field, but Pratap escaped and went on resisting.
