Intro is not accurate

The intro mentions Panipat but it's not in line with Raghunathrao's campaign because he wasn't present at the Battle of Panipat in 1761. Also, Marathas again engaged with Afghans due to this Panipat scene in Capture of Delhi 1771 who participated from Rohilla side so we can also add that if we're to include whole Maratha-Afghan Campaigns because 1771-72 is where it ends.

Lacks Notability?

@PadFoot2008 The article clearly holds notability per these sources:

War, Culture and Society in Early Modern South Asia, 1740-1849. p-98 The Marathas launched repeated expeditions both in north and south India to fill their coffers. On 29 November 1756, Raghoba and Malhar Rao with 60,000 troops left Pune for another campaign against north India. In May 1757, Raghoba detached 20,000 soldiers under Sakharam Bapu and Vithal Sahadev for maintaining Maratha dominance in north India. Raghoba's Punjab campaign during 1757-58 resulted in a deficit of Rs 80 lakhs.
Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707-1813. p-226-234 The Peshwa had received timely information about the fourth invasion of Ahmad Shah Abdali and despatched an adequate Maratha force to Delhi to confront the invader. It was commanded by Raghunath Rao. The much-awaited Maratha army, commanded by Raghunath Rao, reached Agra in May 1757. It was Raghunath's second expedition to the north in his capacity as the commander-in-chief
The New Cambridge Modern History. p-564 The Maratha occupation of the Panjab in 1758 and the expulsion of his son Timur who had been left behind as viceroy, led to the Panipat campaign. The Marathas rapidly evacuated the province before the Afghan advance and fell back on Delhi, closely pursued by the Abdali's forces.

There are more sources which explicitly talk around this event, you should have gone through these existing cited sources before merging this into Afghan-Maratha Wars. I don't see any problem with this article's existence it looks like you are currently pushing your pov here. Although I'd suggest renaming this article to the Maratha invasion of Punjab or Maratha conquest of Punjab but sources also refer to it as North Indian campaign of Raghunathrao so I don't have any problem with it either.
