The MCC said 28,500 spectators, including 6,000 free under-16s, attended the final day's play of the India-England opening Test - the biggest head-count on the fifth day.
England won the match by a massive 196 runs was. Despite the audience's interest, Peterson said he still can not match the intensity Ashes.
Pietersen said, "The queues outside when we arrived at the ground proved just how much interest the public are showing in it".
He added, "But this is totally different to the Ashes - where there is genuine hatred between England and Australia - so the feeling for us in terms of the cricket itself is very different".
The double-centurion who played nine Tests against India he scored four hundred men, praised his bowlers.
He said, "We've always said this was going to be a huge series. It's amazing to stand in the field and watch a great bowling unit at work".
He added, "We get regular breakdowns and percentages of the areas they are looking to hit and these boys are up there with the very best in the business".
