Mir Abdul Aziz was a commander in the Mughal Empire.
Battle of Bayana
Abdul Aziz was appointed by Babur to lead an advance guard to check Rana Sanga's advance. However he was defeated at the Battle of Bayana.[1]
Battle of Khanwa
In 1527 Abdul Aziz participated in the Battle of Khanwa where he led a contingent of the Mughal Army and the Mughals inflicted a crushing defeat on the Rajputs led by Rana Sanga during this battle. Rana Sanga got badly wounded by an arrow during the battle and was subsequently removed from the battleground in unconscious state by Prithviraj Kachwaha of Amber. [2]

From Baburs memoirs we learn that Sanga's success against the Mughal advance guard commanded by Abdul Aziz and other forces at Bayana, severely demoralised the fighting spirit of Baburs troops encamped near Sikri.

As the battle raged on, the tide inexorably turned against Sanga. Severely wounded, Sanga lost consciousness and in that state, was carried away from the battlefield by loyal supporters to a nearby site called Baswa
