Sangram Singh I (12 April 1482 – 30 January 1528), commonly known as Rana Sanga, was the Rana of Mewar from 1508 to 1528 CE. A member of the Sisodia dynasty, he controlled parts of present-day Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh with his capital at Chittor.[4] His reign was admired by several of his contemporaries, including the first Mughal Emperor Babur, who described him as the "greatest Indian ruler" of that time. The Mughal historian Abd al-Qadir Badayuni called Sanga the bravest of all Rajputs along with Prithviraj Chauhan also known as Rai Pithaura.[5]
In his military career, Sanga achieved a series of successes against several neighboring sultanates. Following the Battle of Gagron in 1519, Sanga captured much of the Malwa Sultanate and appointed one of his vassals, Medini Rai, to rule over it. He also humbled the Sultan of Gujarat on various occasions.[6] Among his known victories were the multiple defeats inflicted upon the Lodi dynasty of Delhi at Khatoli, Dholpur and Ranthambore.[7]
He united several Rajput rulers for the first time since the Second Battle of Tarain and marched against the invading forces of Babur, who founded the Mughal Empire. Despite initial success at Bayana,Sanga suffered a major defeat at the Khanwa through Babur's use of gunpowder weaponry, which was unknown in northern India at the time.

Regarding Al Badayuni praise of Kumbha we dont find that instead we find him priasing [sic?] Rana Sanga and further calling him bravest of all Rajputs along with Rai Pithaura.
