Answer:
Baji Rao I (18 August 1700 – 28 April 1740)
Sir Richard Temple in his book Oriental Experience said the following about Baji Rao and quoting him:
He died, as he lived, in the camp under canvas among his men and he is remembered to this day among Marathas as the fighting Peshwa, as the incarnation of Hindu energy.
The twenty year old Bajirao was appointed as Peshwa in succession to his father by Chhatrapati Shahu on 17 April 1720. By the time of Baji Rao's appointment, Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah had in 1719 recognized Marathas' rights over the territories possessed by Shivaji at his death. The treaty also included the Maratha rights to collect taxes (chauth or chauthai and sardeshmukhi) in the six provinces of Deccan.Bajirao succeeded in convincing Chatrapati Shahu that if we want to defend the Maratha Empire then we have to be offensive on our enemy.Bajirao believed that the Mughal Empire was in decline and wanted to take advantage of this situation with aggressive expansion in North India. Sensing the declining fortune of the Mughals, he is reported to have said, "Strike, strike at the roots and the biggest tree will also fall down."However, as a new Peshwa, he faced several challenges:
His appointment as the Peshwa at a young age had evoked jealousy from senior officials like Naro Ram Mantri, Anant Ram Sumant and Shripatrao Pant Pratinidhi. This led Bajirao to promote as commanders young men like himself who were barely out of teens such as Malhar Rao Holkar, Ranoji Shinde, and the Pawar brothers. Also, these men did not belong to families that held hereditary Deshmukhi rights under the Deccan Sultanates.
The Mughal viceroy of Deccan Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah I, had practically created his own independent kingdom in the region. He challenged Shahu's right to collect taxes in Deccan on the pretext that he did not know whether Chhatrapati Shahu or his cousin Sambhaji II of Kolhapur were the rightful heir to the Maratha throne.
The Marathas needed to assert their rights over the nobles of the newly gained territories in Malwa and Gujarat.
Several areas that were nominally part of the Maratha territory, were not actually under Peshwa's control. For example, the Siddis controlled the Janjira fort.
