[[बुन्देलखण्ड]]मा, [[छत्रसाल]]ले मुगल साम्राज्य विरुद्ध विद्रोह गरे र स्वतन्त्र राज्यको स्थापना गरे। डिसेम्बर १७२८ मा, मुहम्मद खान बानगाँस नेतृत्वको मुगल सेनाले बुन्देलखण्डमाथि आक्रमण गर्यो र उनको किल्ला र परिवार घराबन्दीमा परे। छत्रसालले बाजीरावसँग निरन्तर सहयोगको याचिका गरे पनि बाजीराव त्यससमय माल्वामा व्यस्त थिए। उनले उनको अवस्था [[गजेन्द्र मोक्ष]]सँग तुलना गरेका थिए। बाजीरावलाई पठाएको पत्रमा, छत्रसालले लेखेका थिए:

Bangash launched a counterattack against Baji Rao, but could not pierce his defences. Qaim Khan, son of Muhammad Khan Bangash, learned of his father's predicament and approached with fresh troops. His army was attacked by Baji Rao's forces, and he was defeated. Bangash was later forced to leave, signing an agreement that "he would never attack Bundelkhand again".<ref name="phoenix"/> Chhatrasal's position as ruler of Bundelkhand was restored. He granted a large [[jagir]] to Baji Rao, and gave him his daughter Mastani. Before Chhatrasal's death in December 1731, he ceded one-third of his territories to the Marathas.<ref name="GSC_2005"/>
