Kirpal Singh Batth (born 19 May 1992 in Punjab) is an Indian discus thrower.
Discus thrower Kirpal Singh Batth has seen his career getting waylaid by injuries.
Kirpal is a self-coached discus thrower, relying on YouTube for videos of top throwers in the world, and recording clips of himself to self-analyse. He said that "I'm also my own coach. It's difficult to coach yourself. But, you know, now you have smartphones, and you get to watch a lot of videos. I shoot clips of myself throwing and then rewatch them to spot errors. It's okay. Everything is good. Life's good," chuckled Kirpal as he walked off.
