Answer:
Babar was outnumbered during the battle but he was a better tactician.
First, he lured Raja Silhadi of Raisen with his troops to desert to him with his troops.
Secondly, he motivated his troops to a high level by a rousing speech.
Thirdly, he effectively used his cannons and matchlocks in conjunction to create devastating fire. The first time the Rajputs had faced something like this.
The deployment was in a curve with trenches dug in the flanks to prevent the horses a free run. The cannons were in groups with gaps covered by thatch and mud. Cannons were deployed in a semi circle with wagons which were chained to each other. This was on the same lines as the lagers of South African Boers or the Huss wagons of Hungary. Matchlocks manned by trained men kept up a steady rate of fire.
This was devastating for Rana Sanga’s warriors as their cavalry charges were frustrated repeatedly. Even then it was a close run thing.
