During the reign of his father Sulaiman Khan Karrani, Daud commanded a massive army of 40,000 cavalry, 3,600 elephants, 140,000 infantry and 200 cannons.

[1] Daud Khan was discontented to be under the dominion of Mughal Emperor Akbar, therefore he decided to fight against the army of Delhi and remain the conqueror of Bengal.

Following this, Akbar finally ordered the governor of Jaunpur, Munim Khan, to proceed against Daud.

Daud sent Katlu Lohani, Gujar Khan Karrani and Sri Hari against the Mughal army.

Akbar returned to the capital after appointing Munim Khan as the governor of Bihar and Bengal.

As the fight was getting too difficult for Akbar, he requested the governor of Bihar, Muzaffar Khan Turbati and other generals to join him.
