Most under rated King of HINDUSTAN (not India) who ruled biggest chunk of all Kings..... Aurangzeb Alamgir
Yes, He singlehandedly destroyed Mughal empire.
Here in detail:
Destroyed Shia sultanates which kept check on Maratha power: Check
Made tactical error of marching a cavalry heavy Army into a mountainside: Check
Lost an Army to Marathas: Check ( lost to Dhanaji Jadhav)
Emptied whole treasury in a war he could not and did not win:Check
Lost Rajput support by interfering in their internal succession:Check
Left Marathas in a stronger position than they were at start: Check ( contrary to Fanboism of Pakistanis, Marathas expanded into North India during Aurangzebs reign. Maratha entered into North India in 1705. Aurangzeb died in 1707. His empire was on decline since 1699 )
Made Sikhs perpetual enemies of Muslims: Check ( he executed gurus )
Made native population hostile : Check ( Jat rebellion )
So Yes, his role in break-up of Mughal empire is under-rated.
