Sam Billings: 31 Dismissals — The Hundred’s Glove King
Sam Billings has built the most successful keeping career in The Hundred Men’s Competition with 31 dismissals across 42 matches for Oval Invincibles.
The Kent gloveman has been a regular in The Hundred since the inaugural 2021 edition.
Billings’ 6 career stumpings are the most by any keeper in The Hundred history, reflecting his sharp glove work against spin in middle-overs phases.
His leadership of Oval Invincibles also coincided with the franchise’s three-time defending champion status (2023, 2024, 2025).
Jos Buttler: 27 Dismissals — The Highest Strike Rate
Jos Buttler’s 27 dismissals from just 25 matches give him the highest dismissals-per-innings rate (1.421) among regular keepers in The Hundred.
The England batter and former T20 World Cup-winning captain leads Manchester Originals in 2026, who rebrand as Manchester Super Giants.
Buttler’s 14 dismissals in the 2025 edition alone (13 catches and 1 stumping) saw him outscore Sam Billings by 5 dismissals despite playing 1 fewer innings.
He took 3 catches in a single match across the 2025 edition, matching the joint best for any keeper in The Hundred.
Adam Rossington: 23 Dismissals for London Spirit
Adam Rossington claimed 23 dismissals from 25 matches for London Spirit between 2021 and 2024 before retiring at the end of the 2024 season.
The former Northamptonshire captain features as the fixture’s third-highest dismisser despite his career being only four seasons long.
Rossington was a regular fixture for London Spirit through the franchise’s first four seasons, building 23 dismissals in just 25 matches.
His 5 stumpings reflect his strong hands behind the wickets against spin, with the Lord’s surface often producing turn for spinners.
Joe Clarke: 17 Dismissals Across Three Franchises
Joe Clarke has played for three different franchises across The Hundred Men’s Competition history, racking up 17 dismissals across 38 matches for Birmingham Phoenix, Manchester Originals, and Welsh Fire.
The 30-year-old shifts between keeper and pure batter depending on team needs. Clarke’s stat reflects his rotation between keeping and batting roles.
Specifically, his teams have used him as a designated keeper for fewer matches than his appearance count suggests, although his 3-catch match remains a career best.
Tom Moores: 16 Dismissals from 18 Matches
Tom Moores has been the most efficient regular keeper in The Hundred Men’s Competition.
The Trent Rockets gloveman recorded 16 dismissals (12 catches, 4 stumpings) across just 18 matches, giving him a per-innings rate of 0.888.
Moores’ 4 stumpings are the second-highest among the top 10, reflecting his sharp glove work against spinners on Trent Bridge surfaces.
Trent Rockets rotated four different keepers in 2025 (Moores, OB Cox, Tom Banton as keeper, and Tom Alsop), which has limited his match count despite his strong dismissal rate.
Quinton de Kock: 15 Dismissals in Just Two Seasons
Quinton de Kock recorded 15 dismissals (14 catches, 1 stumping) across just 16 matches for Southern Brave between 2021 and 2022.
The South African legend’s two-season stint included a career-best 4 dismissals in a single innings, the joint-highest single-match haul in The Hundred Men’s Competition.
De Kock’s 4-dismissal performance remains one of just a handful of times any keeper has hit four dismissals in The Hundred.
His departure from The Hundred in 2023 means his record will not move further, although his per-innings rate of 0.937 remains the highest among any keeper to have played more than 10 matches in the competition.
Single-Innings Records and Notable Stats
The Hundred’s 100-ball format limits the number of dismissals a keeper can take in any single match. Below are the standout single-match performances and stats from the top 10.
- Joint-highest single-match dismissals: Quinton de Kock 4 dismissals (4ct 0th) for Southern Brave
- Most stumpings in career: Sam Billings 6 stumpings (most all-time)
- Highest dismissals per innings: Jos Buttler 1.421 (regular keepers)
- Most catches in career: Sam Billings and Jos Buttler tied at 25 catches each
- Most dismissals in single edition: Jos Buttler 14 dismissals in the 2025 edition
Why Are Dismissals in The Hundred So Limited?
The 100-ball format gives each side just 100 balls per innings, meaning fewer balls bowled per match than in a standard T20.
Specifically, T20 cricket has 120 balls per innings versus 100 in The Hundred, giving keepers 20 fewer chances to take a dismissal in each game.
The shorter game time and faster scoring rates in The Hundred mean batters take fewer ground shots, give fewer outside-edge chances, and make stumping opportunities rare.
As a result, the average dismissals per innings across The Hundred Men’s Competition sits around 0.7 to 0.9 for most regular keepers.

Conclusion: Sam Billings Tops The Hundred’s Dismissals Chart
The Hundred Men’s Competition all-time dismissals list is led by Sam Billings, whose 31 dismissals across 42 matches for Oval Invincibles cement him as the most decorated keeper in the 100-ball format.
Jos Buttler ranks second with 27 dismissals from 25 matches and the highest strike rate in the competition, while Adam Rossington’s 23 dismissals for London Spirit complete the top three.
With the 2026 edition starting on July 21 at the Kia Oval and Manchester Originals rebranding as Manchester Super Giants, Buttler will look to overtake Billings on the all-time list.
Sam Billings, however, will need just 5 more dismissals across the 2026 season to extend his lead to 36, a target that may take Buttler at least two more seasons to match given the dismissals-per-innings gap.
