Hemu

This grocer's son rose to become a general (Prime Minister?) under the command of King Adil Shah Suri (Muhammad Shah Adali ?). In a series of brilliant campaigns, he defeated large Mughal armies, before he was finally defeated in the Second Battle of Panipat by the forces of Akbar the Great. This was because of a chance arrow in his eye, which turned the tide of battle against his forces.
