Pietersen favourite to hit Sunday sixes
The South African born powerhouse has been out form in recent times and perished to the dreaded sweep shot in the team's warm up game against a Rajasthan Cricket Association XI on Thursday.
But his big-hitting game has seen him edge out Andrew Flintoff in the betting, with the skipper priced up at 13/8.
Middlesex all-rounder Jamie Dalrymple, who hit four maximums in an unbeaten knock of 79 in Jaipur, is a 2/1 shot.
Pietersen is 9/1 to score a century against the hosts, with Andrew Strauss and potential fellow opener Flintoff both 12/1.
Rahul Dravid's side are 5/2 to have one of their batsman hit a ton, with the visitors priced at 4/1.
The captain is 12/1 alongside Virender Sehwag, with Sachin Tendulkar 7/1 following his three figure hit for India Blue against the India Green in the Challenger Trophy.
Despite only taking one wicket in the warm up game, Steve Harmison is 7/2 favourite to be England's leading wicket-taker tomorrow.
Jimmy Anderson, Jon Lewis and Sajid Mahmood, who took three for 22, are all 4/1.
With slow bowlers Jamie Dalrymple and Michael Yardy likely to get the nod, Ladbrokes are 5/2 that spin takes more wickets than seam.
