Krishna suggested that Yudhisthir should face him as he was a calm and calculative fighter himself. It was, hence, almost impossible to defeat him. Shalya also had a unique gift - he grew stronger when met with aggression. While acting as the charioteer, Shalya continued to demoralize Duryodhan, asserting that he was wrong and he would eventually lose. Shalya was Duryodhan's charioteer, as Krishna was Arjun's. Duryodhan realized his warfare skills and duped him into fighting the war from Kauravas' side. He was also a skillful archer and a formidable mace fighter. Ruler of the kingdom of Madra, King Shalya was Nakul and Sahadev's mother, Madri's brother. King Shalya Nakul and Sahdev's maternal uncle Madri's brother His protests fell on deaf ears and even the elders like Bhishma and Dronacharya kept quiet.
Vikarna was also the only one who stood up against Duryodhan when he was disrobing Draupadi. He also believed that the Kauravas were in the wrong but he had no way of escaping the turn of events.
One of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari's 98 sons, Vikarna was often regarded as the only Kaurava who believed in justice. So, Krishna asked for Barbarika's head as charity and avoided his participation in the war. That would mean he would be oscillating between the two sides, leading to everyone's death, except his own. But Krishna realized it was a faulty principle since the side Barbarika would not chose would become the weaker side by default. But the invincible Barbarika was bound by a principle - that he could only fight for the weaker side. He was trained to be a warrior by his mother and was gifted the three infallible arrows by Valmiki, which had the capacity to destroy and save everything on its path. Barbarika was the son of Ghatotkach and Ahilawati. He was considered to be one of the fiercest warriors on the field. Here is a list of such crucial characters from the Mahabharat, easily overlooked and quite underrated, in no particular order. And then there were the other minor characters, crucial to the plot but easily overlooked. Like in any other works of fantasy the central characters got lauded and gathered a large fan following by default.

The television series opened up the brilliance of the Mahabharat to people - a lot of whom were kids - who had not read the epic.
It was - and I speak for a lot of us - our first brush with fantasy. And all those flying chariots and sparkly arrows did not help. It was also known as the glorious time when B R Chopra tried to warn us that Samay is not all that fair but we thought he was a very cool invisible entity with a superbly modulated voice anyway.
If you are a 90s kid, you would probably understand the importance Sunday morning television had.
