Sadhashivrao Bau was not the diplomat he is shown to be. He was arrogant and often disregarded the good advise of others around him. He bogged himself down with close to 1 lakh civilians who literally ate out all the reserve supplies. He made enemies in several places through his highhandedness in dealings. He foolishly (some might say bravely) left his post when he could have won the battle by staying on his elephant. The army needed their leader more than Vishwasrao and not seeing him in place they panicked and ran helter skelter. This was another reason for the defeat of the Marathas in Panipat.
