Frankly, no. But if Arthur Wellesley is killed in the battle, that could have important ramifications for the Napoleonic Wars. The only other commander Britain had who might have been able to do what he did in Spain was Sir John Moore, and in OTL he got himself killed at Corunna.
And strictly speaking India never was a colony, but that's just semantics...
