He fought Afghan rebels across North India from Punjab to Bengal and Mughal forces of Humayun and Akbar in Agra and Delhi, winning 22 battles for Adil Shah.Hemu claimed royal status after defeating Akbar’s Mughal forces on 7 October 1556 in the Battle of Delhi and assumed the title of Vikramaditya that had been adopted by many Indian kings in the past. A month later, Hemu was wounded by a chance arrow and captured unconscious during the Second Battle of Panipat. The Hindu ruler Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya, often known as Hemu, who governed North India from Delhi, and the army of Akbar fought the Second Battle of Panipat. On November 5, 1556, it took place. Hemu had just captured the provinces of Delhi and Agra in the Battle of Delhi, beating the Mughals led by Tardi Beg Khan, and named himself Raja Vikramaditya during a coronation in Purana Quila in Delhi. When Akbar and his guardian Bairam Khan learned of the loss of Agra and Delhi, they marched to Panipat to reclaim the domains. The two armies met in Panipat, not far from the site of the 1526 First Battle of Panipat. The generals of Akbar achieved a tremendous victory.
