Which one among the following pairs is correctly matched?

The Battle of Chausa (1539) is the only correctly matched pair, where Sher Shah Suri defeated the Mughal Emperor Humayun, forcing him to flee for his life [4]. Other options are incorrect: The Second Battle of Tarain (1192) saw Muhammad of Ghor defeat Prithviraj Chauhan, not Jaichand of Kanauj (who was defeated later in the Battle of Chandawar in 1194) [3]. The First Battle of Panipat (1526) involved Babur defeating Ibrahim Lodi, the last ruler of the Lodi dynasty, rather than Sikandar Lodi [2]. Finally, the Battle of Khanwa (1527) was fought between Babur and Rana Sanga of Mewar [1]. Rana Pratap was defeated by Akbar's forces much later at the Battle of Haldighati in 1576.
