That difference will only appear on a superficial reading of both. Both had one key weakness - they didnt erase the military of a key faction of the enemy when they had the opportunity do so. KDR has inscription boasting that he helped protect/re-establish "Yavana" kingdom.

This was in reference to a particular campaign among Deccani Muslim warlords. He could have wiped off the forces, having seiged and broken castle defenses even when his enemies had artillery apparently. This wd hv delayed the Muslim retaliation against his handpicked Rama Raya.
But he restored the Muslim rule. Prithviraja did the same when Ghori scoundrel was fleeing back after Lat's gave his smelly jihadis a sound licking. For both, overstretching lines of logistics, internal rivals/dissensions, etc cd hv been factors.
But the blunder was a blunder: whenever a Muslim majority is allowed to retain sovereignty in proximity to non-Muslim societies and its Islamic infrastructure not completely eliminated as was done by the iron lady Isabella and hubby Ferdinand -future is "unexpected" jihad.
