Shrutasena

Shrutsena was born to Sahadeva and Draupadi and the fifth of the Upapandavas. The Upapandavas were the five sons born to Draupadi from each of the five Pandavas. They are: Prativindhya from Yudhishthira, Sutasoma from Bhimasena, Shrutakarma from Arjuna, Shatanika from Nakula and Shrutasena from Sahadeva. They fought the battle on the side of the Pandavas, and all were Ekarathis as said by Bhishma but not much is said in the Mahabharata about the brothers except for fleeting mentions during the battle. On the 11th and 14th day of war, all five were single handedly defeated by Karna's son Vrishasena. All the Upapandavas were killed by Ashwathama on the night of the last day of the war. 

Shrutasena was defeated by Shakuni during the battle; he killed Shala, the younger brother of Bhurishrava on the 14th day of the war.
