Drona was quite arrogant towards Bhim & said that you cannot surpass me, it was my goodwill that I allowed Arjuna to pass from here
To which Bhim laughed & replied Arjuna doesn't need your mercy. He is capable of defeating you.
He added that I am the angry Bhimsen, your enemy

Bhima was alone & he was simultaneously facing Drona & sons of Dhritrashtra standing in front of him
Bhim started attacking the chariots one by one & defeated those warriors
Bhim shot Drona's chariot & dislodged him from his chariot
Drona was finding it extremely difficulty

While Bhim was fighting Dushasana, Bhim managed to kill another 3 sons of Dhritrashtra.
Now along with other sons of Dhritrashtra, battle between Kourava sons & Bhim was like Man vs Boys.
He took no time to defeat them one after another.

Sons of Dhritrashtra, fled away from the battlefield as they couldn't face the enraged Bhima.
Bhima was alone from the Pandavas side & he didn't have any support.
He stood his ground firm & he was completely unshakeable.

Drona continued to attack Bhima. Bhima now descended from his chariot to attack Drona on foot
Bhima successfully repealed all arrows fired by Drona, slowly exhibiting his skills in archery
Bhima once again attacked Drona's chariot & yet again Drona was thrown out of his chariot

Bhima once again attacked Drona's chariot & yet again Drona was thrown out of his chariot
Dhritrashtra on hearing Bhima's valour, got increasingly worried for his son. He says Bhima wants to kill all his son & even the mighty Drona cannot stop him.
He was curious to know, when his sons had fled the battlefield & Drona was defeated in the duel
Then who fought Bhima?

Sanjaya replied that when Bhima was roaring loud in the battlefield, there arrived Karna who rushed against the Bhima
This is where the real battle between Bhima & Karna begins
Both skilled archers are facing each other. Karna thought it was a piece of cake but he was mistaken

By now, you all must have seen that Bhima was great archer. We have a wrong perception that he fought only with a Mace.
Karna & Bhima engaged in a fierce battle, where both are firing deadly arrows on each other.
Bhima has slowly started dominating on Karna, who is bleeding

Bhima then killed the charioteer & horses of Karna. Karna was dislodged from his chariot & fled away from the battle on Vrishasen's chariot
This was first time when Karna & Bhima had faced each other. With Karna being considered as the best one
Bhim was roaring in confidence

Bhim was roaring in confidence
Bhima's loud roar could be heard in entire battlefield. So when Yudhisthir first came to know that Bhima has defeated Karna, he was delighted
Bhima & Arjuna saw each other in the middle of the enemy camp, so Arjuna was alive & fighting
Both brothers were destroying enemy forces

Duryodhan was completely shocked at this point. He approached Dronacharya & asked, that I understand that Arjuna could have defeated you & entered in our military formation. But how did Satayki & Bhima entered?
Drona was speechless, he said we should now focus on saving Jaydrata
Drona was speechless, he said we should now focus on saving Jaydrata
Dhritrashtra was getting restless when he heard the Bhima was unstoppable. He is now urging Sanjaya to narrate him the battle between Karna & Bhima.
Dhritrashtra thought Karna couldn't be defeated but now he is worried that this could change the outcome of the war.

Karna has now mounted on a new chariot, his new chariot is well prepared to take on Bhima.
So once again Karna charged towards Bhima to attack.
Another fierce battle started between Karna & Bhima. Sanjaya described both warriors attacked each other like 'Angry Tigers'

When Arjuna & Krishna saw that the second battle has started between Karna & Bhima, they became extremely worried for Bhima
This was largely due to the perception that Karna was considered best warrior from the Kauravas side
But Bhima wasn't afraid, he fought Karna fearlessly.

Dhritrashtra was getting extremely worried about the situation. He is finding it hard to believe that Bhima was able to defeat mighty Karna in the battlefield.
There is a rare appreciation for Bhima. He is interested further to know more details about this battle.

Duryodhana has realised that Karna was struggling against Bhima.
Duryodhana asked his brother Durjaya to go & help Karna in the battle against Bhima.
Karna was constantly getting help from Kaurava warriors but here Bhima was all alone, standing up against the mighty force.

Bhima was successful in destroying Karna's new chariot & yet again for the second time, Bhima was successful in defeating Karna.
Despite of defeats & humiliation, Karna keeps attacking Bhima.
To Karna this was now a battle for his ego. His reputation was getting tarnished.

Duryodhana kept sending his brothers to aid Karna against Bhima
Bhima killed those brothers one after the another, right in front of Karna
It was Karna's responsibility to save those brothers in the battlefield but he was completely helpless against Bhima. He failed Duryodhana

Third time Bhima has managed to kill the charioteer of Karna & yet again Karna was forced to flee from battlefield
Karna had to retreat several times, so that he could regroup with other warriors & then again attack Bhima with more intensity. But he failed in his every attempt

Dhritrashtra is now completely frustrated with Karna being repeatedly defeated by Bhima.
He had realised that Duryodhana had been cheated under the false assumption that Karna could single handedly defeat all Pandavas.
Dhritrashtra was interested to know how Duryodhan reacted?

Dhritrashtra had now realised that he had done a mistake by allowing Duryodhana to rage a war against Pandavas
It was Karna who kept poisoning Duryodhana for the battle & he had assured him of victory. But when Karna cannot defeat Bhima, then defeating Arjuna was impossible task

Karna was a shameless person. He never left an opportunity to insult Pandavas.
Despite getting repeatedly defeated by Bhima. He laughs on Bhima & calls him an Eunuch.
He says to Bhima that you are just a child who doesn't have any skills
Imagine a defeated warrior saying this

Now Duryodhana was getting worried & frustrated. He asked all his best warriors to go & help Karna & save Karna from Bhima 😯
Kouravas kept attacking Bhima like a pack of wolves but Bhima stood his ground like a Tiger
Bhima was skilled archer & he successfully defeated best one
