Explanation

Alauddin Khalji (1296-1316) took the title 'Sikander-i-Sani' (The Second Alexander) to project himself as a world conqueror like Alexander the Great. He adopted this title after his successful military campaigns and conquests in the Deccan. 'Baldan' is unclear, Muhammad bin Tughlaq had different titles, and Sikander Lodi came much later.
