Sam Billing In League of Rohit and Dhoni After Winning Latest The Hundred Title With Oval Invincibles
Sam Billings wins fifth T20 title as Oval Invincibles lift The Hundred 2025, making him third most successful T20 captain.
The Oval Invincibles completed a historic hat-trick in The Hundred by beating Trent Rockets in the 2025 final, and skipper Sam Billings now finds himself among the most successful captains in T20 history.
This latest triumph gave Billings his fifth major T20 title, placing him just behind MS Dhoni (9) and Rohit Sharma (8) in the all-time list. For a player once considered a fringe international, Billings’ rise as a leader has been remarkable.
Invincibles Make it Three in a Row
In the final, the Invincibles had an early setback when Muyeye fell cheaply, but Will Jacks’ blistering 72 and Cox’s steady 40 lifted them to 168.
The bowlers then took charge, with Nathan Sowter dismissing Tom Banton, Joe Root, and Rehan Ahmed to finish with three crucial wickets. The Rockets were restricted to 142, handing Invincibles a 26-run win and their third straight title.
It marked the perfect finish to a campaign that underlined their dominance since 2023. With consistency, depth, and Billings’ cool leadership, the Oval franchise has now built one of the strongest legacies in short-format cricket.
Billings Joins Elite Company
Billings’ journey as captain has been defined by smart choices and trust in his players. His record now includes the 2021 Vitality Blast with Kent Spitfires, the ILT20 crown with Dubai Capitals, and three consecutive titles in The Hundred.
The Ppdated List of Most Successful T20 Captains Stands as:
- MS Dhoni – 9 titles
- Rohit Sharma – 8 titles
- Sam Billings – 5 titles
While Dhoni and Rohit remain far ahead, Billings’ climb into the top three shows his growing stature in franchise cricket. With Invincibles looking unstoppable, few would bet against him adding more silverware in the coming years.
