Legal issues and controversies
During the 2024 Indian Premier League, he was embroiled in an alleged controversy in the aftermath of his team Lucknow Super Giants' big defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he was filmed having an animated conversation with captain KL Rahul.
During the 2026 Indian Premier League season, Goenka faced renewed media and public scrutiny following video clips of an animated conversation with head coach Justin Langer and captain Rishabh Pant in the aftermath of a home defeat. The footage drew criticism from former IPL chairman Lalit Modi, while commentators and media outlets compared the interaction to the 2024 incident with Rahul. Goenka subsequently dismissed rumors of an internal rift, stating that the interaction was taken out of context on social media and that he retained complete confidence in Pant's leadership, instead attributing the team's mid-season struggles to squad injuries.
