How can RCB still get knocked out of IPL 2025 playoffs race despite having 17 points in the bag?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had to share points after incessant rain in Bengaluru rendered the IPL 2025 resumption game a damp squib. While the defending champions KKR were knocked out with just 12 points in 13 games, RCB moved to the top of the table with the sole point they earned from the clash to get to 17. However, a Q still eluded the three-time finalists as there is a possibility that 17 points might not be enough for a team to get through to the playoffs in the ongoing IPL season.
