Correct Answer: C) Kolkata Knight Riders.

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Bank PO, Railways

Explanations:

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India that began in 2008. The league features eight teams, each representing a different city or region in India. The teams compete for the IPL trophy, and the league has seen various teams win the title over the years.

One of the key aspects of this question is to identify which team has won exactly two IPL trophies and has not won any after 2014. To answer this, we need to review the history of IPL trophy winners and their respective years.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have won three IPL trophies, in 2010, 2011, and 2018. This disqualifies them from the criteria of having only two trophies and not winning after 2014.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have won one IPL trophy in 2016. This disqualifies them from the criteria of having only two trophies and not winning after 2014.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) have won one IPL trophy in 2008. This disqualifies them from the criteria of having only two trophies and not winning after 2014.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won two IPL trophies, in 2012 and 2014, and have not won any trophies after 2014. This makes them the correct answer to the question.

Understanding the history of IPL trophy winners and their respective years is crucial for answering questions like this. It is important to keep track of the number of trophies won by each team and the years in which they were won to accurately identify the correct answer.
