South Africa pacer Dale Steyn is among the best pacers the current era has seen bowling. His attitude, aggression, and skill made him one of the most liked fast bowlers.

Steyn represented South Africa in 93 Tests since his debut against England in 2004. He has 439 wickets, which makes him the highest wicket-taker in Test for Proteas.

In a recent chat session with fans on Twitter, Steyn was asked to name the most special wicket out of all those 439 scalps. It wasn't so tough for the speedster. He named Marcus Trescothick's wicket, his first in Test cricket as his favorite one and the South Africa bowler has a reason for it.

"My first one, I guess I'll always just remember it so it's the winner. I loved bowling a batsman when he left the ball, often it came from a set up so I enjoyed that my often silly plans ended up working", he wrote.

Steyn had picked three wickets in his debut match against England. His first scalp helped South Africa break the opening stand of 152 runs between Trescothick and Andrew Strauss in first innings. But unfortunately, South Africa went on to lose the game by 7 wickets.
